Weird and Horrific Stories (2021) collects some of H. P.
Lovecraft's finest early work. Although his reputation as one of
the world's greatest writers of horror and weird fiction remains
undisputed, much of his writing was published in such pulp literary
magazines as Argosy, the United Amateur, and Weird Tales, making it
difficult to find proper collections. Weird and Horrific Stories
attempts to bridge this gap for modern readers, bringing them face
to face with some of Lovecraft's most terrifying creations. "The
Alchemist," originally written in 1908 and published in 1916, is
the story of Count Antoine, whose ancestors were cursed after
killing a fearsome dark wizard named Michel Mauvais. Every
generation since has seen the death of its male members at the age
of thirty-two, an age fast approaching for Antoine. Lonely and
terrified, he sets out to put an end to the cycle of death and
suffering. "Dagon," which appeared in The Vagrant in 1919, is a
story told by a morphine-addicted man who survived a terrible
shipwreck during the First World War. In "The Cats of Ulthar,"
published in 1920, an unnamed narrator recounts the legal history
of the town of Ulthar, which once was the home to a sadistic couple
known for their obsession with torturing and killing housecats.
Weird and Horrific Stories collects over thirty stories written at
the height of Lovecraft's career. With a beautifully designed cover
and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of H. P.
Lovecraft's Weird and Horrific Stories is a classic work of
American horror reimagined for modern readers.
