Product Description

Product Description

Step into a nightmare world of hellish horror! Crawling, clawing, sliming horror, seeping from the night-tipped pen of that Grand Master of heart-stopping supernatural terror - H.P. Lovecraft. Sample a dark universe peopled with gods best forgotten and strange races best left undiscovered. Shudder in the dank breath of an ages-old evil blowing icily from the dusk-shrouded eons of time before history. Savour, in this classic collection of masterpieces of the weird and eerie, the grave-fresh tang of total fear. Here is horror to set your skin crawling from your spine's based to your scalp - and back again. "A real collector's piece for connoisseurs of the unusual! Lovers of the macabre, the sinister and the uncanny, take note" - "The Guardian".


About the Author

Renowned as one of the great horror-writers of all time, H.P. Lovecraft was born in 1890 and lived most of his life in Providence, Rhode Island. Among his many classic horror stories, many of which were published in book form only after his death in 1937, are 'At the Mountains of Madness and Other Novels of Terror' (1964), 'Dagon and Other Macabre Tales' (1965), and 'The Horror in the Museum and Other Revisions' (1970).

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential reading, 30 Jun 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Omnibus: Haunter of the Dark and Other Tales No. 3 (H.P. Lovecraft Omnibus) (Paperback)
This, the final volume of a trilogy that contains almost all of Lovecraft's works, proves the old adage of leaving the best until last. Here, in one book, can be found 14 of the finest stories by one of horror's most influential writers.

It is difficult to single out any one tale for special praise. "The Call of Cthulhu" is probably his most famous work, and rightly so, for it excellently captures the essence of his genius in a story that can be read in less than an hour. "The Colour Out of Space" was said by the author to be, in his opinion, the best work that he had ever written, and he was not overestimating. "The Dunwich Horror", "The Whisperer in Darkness", "The Thing on the Doorstep", "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" and "The Shadow Out of Time" are all superb, and are sure to earn a special place in the memory. Of those remaining, "The Rats in the Walls", "Pickman's Model", "The Haunter of the Dark" and "The Lurking Fear" are very good, and certainly reccomended. Such is the quality of this collection, that the remaining three stories, "The Outsider", "The Music of Eric Zahn" and "The Picture in the House" are still quality reads, and should not disappoint.

If you like horror, buy this book. If you have a casual interest in horror, buy this book. If you've never read a horror story in your life, buy this book. It is without doubt the finest collection of work from one of the greatest writers in the genre, and could not come more highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for horror fans, 26 Sep 2003
By muttmummy (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Omnibus: Haunter of the Dark and Other Tales No. 3 (H.P. Lovecraft Omnibus) (Paperback)
This book is one of three which, between them, provide MOST (but not all) of Lovecrafts' stories. Purchase Volume 1, 2 and 3 of this "omnibus", and you will own a truly magnificent collection of this master's works! Lovecraft, like Poe, had an untouchable talent for macabre and gothic horror stories - his works being a great influence on the wonderful Stephen King. Lovecraft's style is simple and yet so very intricate in weaving the most captivating stories. Like Poe, Lovecraft's works are ageless and the stuff of dreams and nightmares that will remain in your mind for many years after reading.
Sadly, not enough of Lovecraft's works have been translated into movies, but the movie "Dagon" should give you a taste of his work if you want to view something based on his writings. Amazon stock this movie.
In truth, I would much rather have a decent hardback with all of Lovecraft's stories - somehow your average paperback seems insufficient a medium to do real honour to such a master of this genre. BUT - this omnibus makes for a great resource and I am sure lovers of this genre will find Lovecraft's work a real treasure within their collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must have for Lovecraftians, 5 Feb 2001
By A Customer
Of the 3 "Omnibus" paperbacks containing the works of H.P.Lovecraft, this contains most of his non Cthulhu Mythos work. Don't let that put you off, this is an absolute must have collection of short stories. The atmosphere he creates in such stories as "The Tomb" & "Arthur Jermyn" will never leave you, once read.
