A small occult publisher located in New York City during the early years of the 20th century. First referred to in the 1931 Robert E. Howard story, "The Black Stone," two conflicting accounts of this company exist.

==Dean Shomshak Version==

In '''''Dragon''''' magazine #150 (October 1989), author Dean Shomshak provides a list of published Golden Goblin Press books in the article "Unspeakable Secrets Made Easy." The article lists the following volumes:

* '''''Mu: Lost Land of the Pacific''''', by Paul Dixon (1896)
* '''''Demon Gods of Mu''''', by Paul Dixon (1900)
* '''''El Codigo de Uxmal''''', trans. by Dr. Miguel Arroscas of the Museo Nacional de Antropologia (1901)
* '''''Magic and Mystery of Mu''''', by Paul Dixon (1902)
* '''''Book of Elder Aeons''''', trans. by Muriel Rasmussen (1906)
* '''''[[Unaussprechlichen Kulten]]''''', illus. by Diego Vasquez (1909)
* '''''The Uxmal Codex''''', trans. by Thad Chevaux (1910)

This version of the history has the offices, printing presses, and unsold stock of Golden Goblin Press books being consumed by a fire late one night in 1908, which also killed the editor and publisher.

==Stephen Marc Harris Version==

In 1996, Steven Marc Harris published an article on his blog called "The History of Von Unaussprechlichen Kulten." According to this article, Samuel and John Addleton formed the company in 1908. When founded, their intention was to republish the out of print works that they had used in composing their never-completed opera based on the history of the world. The most famous of these were von Junzt's '''''Nameless Cults''''' (1909) and E. S. Bayrolles' translation of the '''''Revelations of Hali''''' (1913). It was closed with the outbreak of WWI, and then reborn in Philadelphia in 1924.
