H.P. Lovecraft fused supernatural horror with visionary science
fiction; this volume collects together all of these writings. This
is an exquisitely designed edition that features a silk-ribbon
bookmark, distinctive gilt edging & marbled endpapers. This is
the perfect gift for book lovers and an artful addition to any home
library. In the 1920s and '30s, H.P. Lovecraft pioneered a new type
of fiction that fused elements of supernatural horror with the
concepts of visionary science fiction. Lovecraft's tales of cosmic
horror revolutionised modern horror fiction and earned him the
reputation of the most influential American writer of weird tales
since Edgar Allan Poe. "H.P. Lovecraft: The Complete Fiction"
collects for the first time in a single volume all of Lovecraft's
groundbreaking fictions. The book is exquisitely designed with
bonded-leather bindings, distinctive gilt edging and an attractive
silk-ribbon bookmark. Decorative, durable, and collectible, the
"Leatherbound Classics" series offers hours of pleasure to readers
young and old and is an indispensable cornerstone for any home
library.
H. P. Lovecraft is best known for his tales of cosmic horror, in
which unnameable nightmares torment the limits of human
consciousness. This mastery of weird and unspeakable terror is
underpinned by the writer's sizeable contribution to Gothic
fiction. This new collection of Lovecraft's stories is the first to
concentrate on his Gothic writing and includes tales from the
beginning to the very end of the author's career. The writer's
weird vision mixes brilliantly with the trappings of earlier Gothic
horror to form innovative mosaics of frightful fiction that will
long haunt the reader's subconscious.
The Cthulhu Mythos was H.P. Lovecraft's greatest contribution to
supernatural literature. This anthology includes 23 of his weirdest
tales, including 'The Call of Cthulhu', 'The Colour Out of Space',
'The Dunwich Horror' and 'The Shadow Out of Time'. It also features
six collaborative 'revisions' that expand the scope of Lovecraft's
dark mythology, an introduction by Lovecraft scholar, S.T. Joshi,
and a 16 x 20 inch frameable poster by award- winning cover artist,
John Coulthart.
Lovecraft's writing has inspired many contemporary writers
including New York Times bestsellers Stephen King and Neil Gaiman.
H. P. Lovecraft and his work have become something of a cult among
students of fantasy horror fiction.

Devoured by the Lovecraftian community and general readers alike,
Leslie S. Klinger's best-selling The New Annotated H.P. Lovecraft,
Volumes I and II were hailed as classics of the genre. Now Klinger
returns with the ideal annotated primer not only for Lovecraft
devotees eager for a more portable version but also students,
literature-lovers and curious newcomers looking for a scare. In
"Dagon", one of Lovecraft's earliest stories, the terrifying idea
of an unknown being at the bottom of the ocean is introduced for
the first time; in "The Call of Cthulhu", the horror spreads beyond
the sea. The iconic "Rats in the Walls" relates a journey into the
depths of a haunted house and mind, while "The Outsider" is a
twisted tale that will make the reader question everything. A
necessity for any library, The Call of Cthulhu and Other Stories is
an indispensable companion for anyone looking to experience a
master at the height of his craft. A paperback original.
