In 1993, Chaosium began publishing a line of non-game books (mostly Fiction but also Non-Fiction, such as The Book of Dzyan). Their first two such books were King of Sartar (product #4500), which was related to another of their game products, and Castle of Eyes (product #6000), which was an independent novel. But they next began a line of "Call of Cthulhu® Fiction". The back cover text of The Yellow Sign and Other Stories, for example, defines the series as "an expanding collection of Cthulhu Mythos horror fiction and related topics. Call of Cthulhu® fiction focuses on single entities, concepts, or authors significant to readers and fans of H. P. Lovecraft."
