Cold Print, by British horror fiction author Ramsey Campbell, is a collection of short stories either set in the expanded Cthulhu Mythos, which contain story elements linking them to the larger universe, or whose subject matter is in the same vein. It includes most of the stories found in Campbell's earlier collection The Inhabitant of the Lake and Less Welcome Tenants, with a number of additional stories added to the contents.
