Dagon and Other Macabre Tales is a collection of stories by American author H. P. Lovecraft, which also includes his essay on weird fiction, "Supernatural Horror in Literature". It was originally published in 1965 by Arkham House in an edition of 3,471 copies. The true first edition, unlike some other first editions of Lovecraft collections issued by Arkham House in the mid-sixties, is bound with head- and tailbands. The collection was revised in 1986 by S.T. Joshi replacing the introduction by August Derleth for one by Joshi and another by T. E. D. Klein. The bulk of the tales were also reordered chronologically, while some tales were moved to appendices. It was released in an edition of 4,023 copies, designated a 'corrected 5th printing'.

Vihdoin olen kahlannut kaikki Lovecraftit läpi

Kolmiosaisten koottujen teosten keskimmäinen nide, jossa esipuheen mukaan on herran vähemmän tunnettuja tarinoita mutta joka yllättäen oli mielestäni ehkä kiinnostavin näistä kolmesta. Ei silti mitenkään päräyttävä, vaan kyllä tämänkin lukeminen työstä kävi, ja esimerkiksi Lovecraftille tyypillinen rasistinen tyyli kukkii niin kuin tunnetummissakin tarinoissa, joskin tässä tuntui monesti siltä, että siihen oli hiipinyt mukaan ripaus itsetietoisuutta. Joka tapauksessa peruskuvio on tarinoissa aina pitkälti sama: mystinen ja sanoinkuvaamaton kauhu yllättää liian uteliaan ihmisen, joka tohtii poiketa totutuista tavoista.
