'The 20th century horror story's dark and baroque prince' Stephen King 'These tales of horror are in the true gothic tradition ! full of hinted terrors and unholy stenches. They are something very much out of the ordinary, a real collector's piece for connoisseurs of the unusual! Lovers of the macabre, the sinister, and the uncanny, take note.'

About the Author
H. P. Lovecraft is one of the most analyzed and imitated science fiction and horror authors of the 20th century, not to mention one of the most popular still. His fiction has had a strong influence on everything from Metallica songs to scary movies to the slew of novels published every year which bear the mark of his influence. Today he's acknowledged as an immortal master right up there with Edgar Allan Poe, and Stephen King regards him as the "the twentieth century's greatest practitioner of the classic horror tale."
