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".

Author Biography

H P Lovecraft was born in 1890 and lived most of his life in Providence, Rhode Island. A major figure in twentieth-century supernatural fiction, Lovecraft wrote many classic horror stories, many of which were published in book form only after his death in 1937. Among them 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).
