Kadath

Tagged: Publication.

Two Small-Press fantasy Magazines named for the Antarctic city of the Cthulhu Mythos.

1. US magazine, 1 issue 1974, published and ed Lin Carter. Slim (24pp) but expensive, Kadath had negligible circulation and is almost unknown. The only item of interest is a new story by Hannes Bok, "Jewel Quest". [MA]

2. Italian large-format glossy magazine, 6 issues, irregular, October 1979-Fall 1984, published and ed Francesco Cova, Genoa. Although issues #1-#2 were mostly in Italian, they had small English-language sections; issues #4-#6 were entirely in English. The magazine ran a mixture of Lovecraftian Horror (see H P Lovecraft) and Low Fantasy, mostly produced by Cova's UK and US supporters. From #3, issues became thematic: Brian Lumley (November 1980), a Weird Tales issue (July 1981), Occult Detectives (July 1982) and Heroic Fantasy (Fall 1984). Kadath was beautifully produced, but the fiction was of variable standard. The magazine's atmosphere of excitement and rediscovery always prevailed. [MA]
