Description

More than 10 stories of Lovecraft's iconic Cthulhu mythos are collected in this gorgeous clothbound collection. From the classic 'The Call of Cthulhu' to the eerie 'The Shunned House' these stories exemplify Lovecraft's extravagant imagination. Terrifying rituals, grotesque comedies and tales of insanity form some of the best writing of the man who remade the horror genre in the early 20th-century.

About the Author

H. P. Lovecraft was born in Providence, Rhode Island, in the US in 1890. Influenced by various literary interests, first in the Tales of Arabian Nights, then Greek mythology and also Gothic tales told to him by his grandfather, Lovecraft mixed these together with an interest in science and gave voice to his ideas in a series of dark tales of fantasy and horror. He died in 1937, but his legacy lives on in a body of work that has inspired countless films, TV series, board games and toys, as well as the work of many other writers.
