"The Doom That Came to Sarnath and Other Stories" is a collection of fantasy and horror stories by H. P. Lovecraft, edited by Lin Carter. It was first published in paperback by Ballantine Books as the twenty-sixth volume of its celebrated "Ballantine Adult Fantasy series" in February 1971. It was the second collection of Lovecraft's works assembled by Carter for the series, the first being "The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath". The stories were written between 1919 and 1935, and originally published in various fantasy magazines, notably "Weird Tales".
The book collects twenty tales from the author's two main series of short stories, the Dream Cycle of Dunsanian fantasies and the Cthulhu Mythos of science fictional horror, with a general introduction, notes, and a partial chronology of Lovecraft's works by the editor. The book is dedicated to Lovecraft's friend, correspondent and posthumous publisher August Derleth.
