The Dagon Collection, the companion book to “The Starry Wisdom Library, is a 2025 World Fantasy Awards finalist for Best Anthology. Liv Rainey-Smith, who contributed the art to the anthology, is a finalist for Best Artist. For the full list of nominees, visit Locus Online.

The Dagon Collection, available on Amazon and bookstores near you, is presented shortly after the events in “The Shadow Over Innsmouth.” The feds have just raided the Esoteric Order of Dagon Lodge. Now they’ve contracted with Pent & Serenade, Occult Auctioneers, to sell the items secured in the raid.

Rebecca Baumann of the University of Indiana provided the cataloging of the objects. Liv Rainey-Smith and Eduardo Valdes-Hevia contributed illustrations. Leading voices in horror and Lovecraftian fiction again contributed stories, including F. Paul Wilson, Jesse Bullington, John Langan, Gemma Files, Livia Llewellyn, Michael Cisco, Nick Mamatas, Ramsey Campbell, Selena Chambers, Silvia Moreno-Garcia, James Lowder, Flames Rising contributor Monica Valentinelli and, in a bittersweet note, Joseph S. Pulver, Sr. (to whom the book is dedicated), in what may be his final unpublished story.
