Any magazines that have a habit of publishing short stories very much influenced by HP Lovecraft and the Cthulhu mythos?

Just curious as to whether any of the names currently do so.
 
Weird Tales used to, who knows under the new regime there now.
 
Chris Jarocha-Ernst wrote "A Cthulhu Mythos Bibliography & Concordance" that lists 2,631 stories.

Daniel Harms wrote the "Cthulhu Mythos Encyclopedia" and "The Necronomicon Files."

both are resources about the Mythos.:)

I guess you are looking for magazines....

there is a web site with a lot of links to magazines of the Lovecraft style.

DarkEcho on their Dark Links page. I do not use this site, "but..." It has, "like I said," links to tons of Lovecraft type magazines.

Lovecraft eZine has a few interviews with writers of that style.
 
I'd guess Black Static has published a couple, one being 'Less A Dream Than This We Know" by Christopher M Cevarsco in issue 5. (2008)
Without checking the other could be Tim Casson's 'The Overseer' in isue 16. (2010)
 
I asked Andy Cox editor of Black Static and out and out Cthulhu mythos stories would be a very hard sell to the magazine. As usual authors have to come up with something special whatever, but especially in that line.
 
Wilum Pugmire would be a good one to ask this question, as he not only writes chiefly Lovecraftian fiction himself, but is very knowledgeable about the modern Lovecraftian writers... and the markets they sell to.....
 
I have been some sort of editor (now I lack the time) of a e-zine called "Cthulhu Libria". It is in German language. Most of the content were book reviews and such, not only about Cthulhu-related stuff, but focused on similar stuff, like horror and "darker" speculative fiction. (No high or romantic fantasy.) We sometimes had short stories inside, though we prefered published material what was in fact my idea as I knew that I won´t manage the editing work alone. There is not so much to do on book reviews, probably a literal error now and then, but a story, especially by an author who is not well experienced, is another level. I think we had this nevertheless probably three times in total.
