Nyctalops

A fanzine devoted to H. P. Lovecraft, the Cthulhu Mythos, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert Bloch, edited by Harry O. Morris and, for issues #4 through 15, Edward P. Berglund as "Assistant Editor – Fiction". It began publication in May, 1970 and lasted into 1983 (the few first issues were almost quarterly, but from 1973 it was yearly at most), with one final issue #19 in 1991. It was an 8.5x11 publication with later issues of around 60 pages on average. It started with strictly non-fiction (and art, including Morris's), but with Berglund joining, added fiction.
