The Disciples of Cthulhu was edited by Edward P. Berglund and published by DAW Books in 1976. Berglund later described it as "the first professional, all-original, Cthulhu Mythos anthology". Perhaps responding to the introduction to Derleth's collection, Berglund wrote in his preface:
"Whether or not there is a market for the Cthulhu Mythos stories, established and amateur writers will continue to write them for their own and their friends' amusement and enjoyment. It is inevitable that one or more readers of this volume will be influenced into trying his hand at writing within the Cthulhu Mythos genre."
In February 1996, Call of Cthulhu publisher Chaosium released The Disciples of Cthulhu: Second Revised Edition as part of their Cthulhu Cycle, once again edited by Berglund, but with two of the original stories ("The Feaster from Afar" and "Zoth-Ommog") were removed and replaced (with "Dope War of the Black Tong" and "Glimpses"). This version ran to 258 pages and featured brand new cover artwork by H. E. Fassl, with an interior plate by Earl Geier.
