is a collection of short horror stories by British horror fiction author and Mythos contributor Ramsey Campbell published by Arkham House. As it was edited by August Derleth, the stories are considered by this wiki to be set in the Derleth Cthulhu Mythos.
Originally published in 1964 by Arkham House, The Inhabitant of the Lake was later reprinted with new forewords as Cold Print in 1985 with three of the original stories removed and others added in their stead. However, the 1993 reissue of Cold Print saw the missing stories reinstated.
In 2011, PS Publishing released an expanded and illustrated print of the book which was promoted as the '50th Anniversary Edition,' counting from when the stories were first begun in 1961. This edition was titled The Inhabitant of the Lake and Other Unwelcome Tenants (which was to have been the first release title, but had to be changed at the last minute due to a miscommunication with the cover illustrator) and featured the original versions of Campbell's stories, before they had undergone revision by Derleth.

29 set 2020 · Choosing as his setting not the Arkham country of Massachusetts, but the Severn Valley in England, J. Ramsey Campbell has expanded the background of the Mythos, and brought into vivid being an entirely new setting to parallel that of Arkham-Dunwich-Innsmouth.
Forming his literary apprenticeship with stories modelled after Lovecraft's themes, Campbell's first collection, The Inhabitant of the Lake and Less Welcome Tenants (Arkham House, 1964), published when he was eighteen years old, collects his Lovecraftian pastiches to that date.
