Through A Mythos Darkly is a Cthulhu Mythos–inspired anthology, edited by Glynn Owen Barrass & Brian M. Sammons , published by PS Publishing in 2017. These stories are "alternate history" Cthulhu Mythos tales, in which the authors were instructed to "Take a steampunk world, fill it with giant steam powered robots, and have them herding shoggoths for the ‘betterment’ of mankind. Have them rebel, and have do-gooders set about trying to free them. Fill a world with Deep Ones or Ghouls, or create a world where magic is a part of everyday life, or where America was never discovered because something kept eating the ships, or the Nazis won WWII thanks to outside influences. Perhaps the Chinese built the Great Wall to keep something out other than Mongol hordes."
