human soul... Within these pages, some of H P Lovecraft's more
obscure works of horror and science fiction can be found, including
several fantastic tales from his celebrated Cthulhu Mythos. No true
Lovecraft aficionado dare be without this volume.
Carter is a quiet and melancholy dreamer with a sensitive
disposition, prone to fainting during times of emotional stress.
But he can also be courageous, with enough strength of mind and
character to face and foil the horrific creatures of the
Dreamlands. Randolph Carter is an antiquarian and one-time student
of the Miskatonic University. Based on clues from various stories,
he was probably born around 1874 and grew up in and around Boston.
At the age of nine, he underwent a mysterious experience at his
great-uncle Christopher's farm and thereafter exhibited a gift of
prophecy. He is the descendant of Sir Randolph Carter, who had
studied magic during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I of England. Sir
Randolph had then emigrated to America and his son Edmund Carter
later had to flee the Salem witch-trials. Carter also had an
ancestor involved in one of the Crusades, who was captured by the
Muslims and learned "wild secrets" from them. This volume contains
all of H P Lovecraft's stories about Randolph Carter.
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.

First published in the pulp magazine Weird Tales in February 1928,
'The Call of Cthulhu' is a terrifying trilogy of horror stories
that has influenced writers like William S. Burroughs, Ramsey
Campbell, Thomas Ligotti and Stephen King.
This is the first of three books containing the complete fiction
collection of the great HP Lovecraft, the master of horror. The
serie will contain 83 fiction stories (including some rare juvenile
stories), one sonnet and two essays.
Initially rejected by Lovecraft's publisher, 'At The Mountains of
Madness' is now considered a classic of the horror genre. The
disturbing, nightmarish story of a journey through Antarctica and a
discovery of secrets hidden in a frozen mountain range has
influenced writers and film-makers for decades.
