I forgot to add a recommendation that’s truly worth checking out: Bob Leman’s now rare and top-notch collection “Feesters in the lake” has several excellent stories with a kind of cosmic horror vibe to them. You’ll undoubtedly find a few highly suitable stories there.

I only now find this question because you mentioned it during the Starship Sofa interview.
It’s not evident to create a cthulhuian anthology that isn’t kitsch. But it should be possible :-)
A few recommendations next to ones you must have received already (like, selected work by Laird Barron and T.E.D. Klein)
- My big recommendation is the excellent novella “A Colder War” by Charles Stross. It’s so much better than most in the genre. Perhaps a bit long for an anthology?
- Stephen Mark Rainey has a number of genre stories which are better crafted than most. “Fugue Devil” is a good one for example, and it’s worth to check out more.
- I assume you already ready Neil Gaiman’s “A study in Emerald”?
- “The whispering horror” by Eddy C. Bertin has been published in old paperback anthologies, I can’t give you a title since I read it in dutch.

It’s not been published yet. It was slated for a Cthulhu singularity publication, but I’m not sure that’s happening.

What is the Macleod story in, Jonathan?
