As someone who came to know Lovecraft through Call of Cthulhu the RPG first, the stories themselves second and is only now making anything like a study of Lovecraft and his work (guided largely by the H.P. Lovecraft Literary Podcast)I'm only just getting the picture of what Derleth did to the corpus while he was doing for it.
It is so pervasive, and unless you really stop to read Lovecraft, and contrast and compare...you wind up with this skewed idea of the "Mythos."
