The Case of Charles Dexter Ward Reviews

Lovecraft is a dark and baroque prince. I think it is beyond doubt that H. P. Lovecraft has yet to be surpassed as the twentieth century's greatest practitioner of the classic horror tale -- Stephen King
A complex and well-plotted tale with some wonderful surprises built in, and very entertaining... a gripping, absorbing read. The book itself is a beautiful object (as are all Apollo books) with a striking cover' * Shiny New Books *
