One of the mainstays of Lovecraft's legacy has long been the Mythos he created. Many authors, both before and after Lovecraft, have created a Mythos of their own: Pugmire's Sesqua Valley, Chambers's King in Yellow stories, Barron's Old Leech universe, Dunsany's Pegana, Clark Ashton Smith's Hyperborea. Some have outgrown their creators and have opened their doors to many authors to contribute. What is the allure of a Mythos? What are the benefits of writing in one? What are the pitfalls?
