A collection of stories from HP Lovecraft, the unrivalled master of early-20th-century horror. Frequently imitated and widely influential, Howard Phillips "Lovecraft" reinvented the horror genre, discarding ghosts and witches and envisioning instead mankind as a tiny outpost of dwindling sanity in a chaotic and malevolent universe.
Lovecraft's pre-eminent interpreter ST Joshi presents a selection of the master's fiction, from the early tales of nightmares and madness such as "The Outsider" and "Rats in the Walls", through the grotesquely comic "Herbert West--Reanimator" and "The Hound", to the overpowering cosmic terror of "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" and "The Call of Cthulhu". The first paperback edition to include the definitive corrected texts, "The Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories" reveals the development of Lovecraft's mesmerising narrative style and establishes him as canonical--and visionary--American writer.
"I think it is beyond doubt that HP Lovecraft has yet to be surpassed as the 20th century's greatest practitioner of the classic horror tale." Stephen King
