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.
Lovecraft's writing has inspired many contemporary writers
including New York Times bestsellers Stephen King and Neil Gaiman.
Selected and Introduced by M J Elliott. 'They were removing the
stones quietly, one by one, from the centuried wall. And then, as
the breach became large enough, they came out into the laboratory
in single file; led by a stalking thing with a beautiful head made
of wax.' From the dark, mind-expanding imagination of H P
Lovecraft, Wordsworth presents a third volume of tales penned by
the greatest horror writer of the 20th Century. Here are some of
Lovecraft's weirdest flesh-creeping masterpieces, including
Pickman's Model, The Shunned House, his famous serial Herbert West
- Reanimator, and several classic tales from the Cthulhu Mythos, in
which mankind is subjected to the unimaginable terrors known only
to those who have read from the forbidden Necronomicon. Also
included in this compelling collection are the complete Randolph
Carter stories, chronicling his adventures in this world and the
realm of his dreams, where he faces perils beyond comprehension.
Selected and Introduced by M.J. Elliott. That is not dead that can
eternal lie And with strange aeons even death may die Millenia ago,
the Old Ones ruled our planet. Since that time, they have but
slumbered. But when a massive sea tremor brings the ancient stone
city of R'lyeh to the surface once more, the Old Ones awaken at
last. The Whisperer in Darkness brings together the original
Cthulhu Mythos stories of the legendary horror writer H.P.
Lovecraft. Included in this volume are several early tales, along
with the classics 'The Call of Cthulhu', 'The Dunwich Horror' and
'At the Mountains of Madness'. Arm yourself with a copy of Abdul
Alhazred's fabled Necronomican and prepare to face terrors beyond
the wildest imaginings of all, save H.P. Lovecraft.
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.
WIKIPEDIA says: 'H.P. Lovecraft's reputation has grown tremendously
over the decades, and he is now commonly regarded as one of the
most important horror writers of the 20th century, exerting an
influence that is widespread, though often indirect.' H.P.
Lovecraft's tales of the tentacled Elder God Cthulhu and his
pantheon of alien deities were initially written for the pulp
magazines of the 1920s and '30s. These astonishing tales blend
elements of horror, science fiction and cosmic terror that are as
powerful today as they were when they were first published. This
handsome leatherbound tome collects together the very best of
Lovecraft's tales of terror, including the complete Cthulhu Mythos
cycle, just the way they were originally published. It will
introduce a whole new generation of readers to Lovecraft's fiction,
as well as being a must-buy for those fans who want all his work in
a single, definitive, highly attractive volume.
'Warning! You are about to enter a new dimension of utmost terror.
When you open this book you will lost - lost in a world of dreadful
nightmare brought to screaming life by the century's greatest
master of adult fantasy and horror' - H.P. Lovecraft. Here is a
collection of the most famous stories of this master of tomb-dark
fear: "The Rats In The Walls", "The Call Of Cthulhu", "The Haunter
Of The Dark", "Pickman's Model", "The Lurking Fear" plus other
tales designed to haunt your dreams and bring you to sweat-soaked
wakefulness in the darkest reaches of the night! "Terror in the
fourth dimension! A master of cosmic horror" - "Punch".
The Cthulhu Mythos is a collection of 23 loosely connected short stories by H. P. Lovecraft, one of the earliest masters of dark fantasy and horror. From "Dagon" to "The Call of Cthulhu" to "The Haunter of the Dark," each story connects to the ancient cosmic entities known as the Great Old Ones, buried in a deep sleep beneath the earth and incomprehensible to mankind. For the few mortals who dare to glimpse this unknowable world, the result is a complete disconnection from what was once considered reality. Lovecraft's stories are grim, fantastical, dark, horrifying—and yet endlessly fascinating.
While Howard Phillips Lovecraft was closing the final chapter of
his writing career, Fritz Reuter Leiber was only beginning to open
his own. The year was 1936 and Jonquil Leiber, Fritz's first wife,
sent a letter on her own initiative to Lovecraft, knowing that her
husband had been an avid admirer of his work, ever since his first
reading of "The Colour out of Space" and hoping that Lovecraft's
presence in Fritz's slow-paced writing career might be the source
of inspiration he so dearly needed. Lovecraft replied promptly on
November 2 of that year, the seed of an invigorating
correspondence, which lasted till Lovecraft's passing. Fritz Leiber
and H.P. Lovecraft: Writers of the Dark presents Lovecraft's
letters to Leiber, an impressive selection of Leiber's fiction
which shows Lovecraft's influence, and a selection of Leiber's
essays on Lovecraft and Matters Lovecraftian. Features an
introduction by Ben J. S. Szumskyj and an afterword by S.T. Joshi.
