Lovecraft has yet to be surpassed as the twentieth century's greatest practitioner of the classic horror tale."-Stephen King "The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown."-H.P. Lovecraft This is the collection that true fans of horror fiction must have: sixteen of H.P. Lovecraft's most horrifying visions, including: The Call of Cthulu: The first story in the infamous Cthulhu mythos-a creature spawned in the stars brings a menace of unimaginable evil to threaten all mankind. The Dunwich Horror: An evil man's desire to perform an unspeakable ritual leads him in search of the fabled text of The Necronomicon. The Colour Out of Space: A horror from the skies-far worse than any nuclear fallout-transforms a man into a monster. The Shadow Over Innsmouth: Rising from the depths of the sea, an unspeakable horror engulfs a quiet New England town. Plus twelve more terrifying tales! ABOUT THE AUTHOR Almost completely ignored by the mainstream press during his lifetime, H. P. Lovecraft has since come to be recognized as one of the greatest writers of classic horror, on a par with Edgar Allan Poe, Lovecraft's mentor. H. P. Lovecraft's work has been translated into more than a dozen languages, his tales adapted for film, television, and comic books, and he has been the subject of more scholarly study than any other writer of horror fiction save Poe.
