[edit] Golden Goblin Press in the mythos

Golden Goblin Press was founded in New York in 1908 by two brothers, Samuel and John Addleton, and was named after a small Native American figurine owned by one of the brothers. The publishing company specialized in printing obscure works, most notably Nameless Cults (1909) by Friedrich von Junzt and a translation of Revelations of Hali (1913) by the medium E. S. Bayrolle. Although the publishing house closed during World War I, it reappeared in Philadelphia a decade later. Among its later publications are C.A. Smith's The Dream of the Spider and the Awakening (1931) and Nathaniel Wingate Peaslee's The Shadow Out of Time (1936).
