H.P. Lovecraft is one of the most influential writers in the history of horror fiction. His style is unique, mixing fantasy, science fiction and horror to make truly frightening tales that have scared readers silly for nearly a century. His characters inhabit a world of strange places, ancient gods, and above all unspeakable horrors.

His gift for making the reader feel genuinely uncomfortable is apparent in this carefully selected collection of fantastic stories, from the short but stifling The Rats in the Walls to the indescribable denouement of The Case of Charles Dexter Ward. His greatest Cthulhu stores are included as well, making this collection an ideal introduction to this little-known literary genius, as well as a handsome addition to any core fan's dark library.
