The Starry Wisdom: A Tribute to H. P. Lovecraft is an anthology of Lovecraftian writing edited by D. M. Mitchell and published by Creation Books in 1995. In 2012, Elektron Books released The Starry Wisdom: Fiction Inspired by H. P. Lovecraft, which combined much of the contents of the 1995 volume with additional material.
In an introduction, Mitchell said he aimed to “bypass the superficial and access the subterranean channels of archetype and inspiration with which Lovecraft was connected.” Mitchell presents Lovecraft–and the writers in his anthology–as part of a tradition not only of horror writers like Edgar Allan Poe, Algernon Blackwood, and Arthur Machen, but also of avant-garde writers like Comte de Lautréamont and Antonin Artaud, and occultists like Aleister Crowley and Helena Blavatsky.
