H.P. Lovecraft is one of the most influential modern horror writers. Lovecraft's fiction is a category unto itself. Eschewing the traditional werewolves, vampires, and ghosts of most horror fiction, he wrote of dread Elder Gods and cosmic, earth-shattering horrors. Lovecraft mined rich veins of terror uniquely his own, and wherever in the known and unknown universe his imagination sped, readers followed--fascinated, enrapt, and terrified by the scope of his dark vision.
More than fifty years after his death, Lovecraft's fiction continues to influence each new generation of horror readers and writers. "Lovecraft's Legacy collects "13 stories by critically-acclaimed, award-winning horror and dark fantasy writers, including F. Paul Wilson, Brian Lumley, Gene Wolfe, and Gahan Wilson. With an introduction by Robert Bloch, author of "Psycho," this splendid anthology pays well-deserved homage to the late, great master of the weird tale.

Best known as the author of "Psycho," Robert Bloch is world-renowned for his stories of horror, mystery, fantasy, and science fiction. Many of the 25 stories in this first volume of "The Complete Stories of Robert Bloch" have been unavailable for decades. The stories are in his classic style of gripping suspense, science fiction and fantasy.

As Bloch writes, "These stories in this collection have a common theme; they deal with monsters. Some of the monsters are human, some are not-- but all of them embody, in one way or another, the fears common to us in our dreams. We call these monsters by many names-- ghosts, vampires, extraterrestrials, changelings. But we recognize them for what they are; manifestations of the secret dreads and desires which lurk beneath the surface of consciousness."

"Bloch has become a virtual fixture on the popular culture landscape." --Publishers Weekly

"If you're not familiar with Bloch's short fiction, find someone to borrow this from; if you already are familiar, you know that you want to own these volumes." --Locus

Robert Bloch's Psycho captivated a nation when it appeared in 1959. The story was all too real-indeed this classic was inspired by the real-life story of Ed Gein, a psychotic murderer who led a dual life. Alfred Hitchcock too was captivated, and turned the book into one of the most-loved classic films of all time the year after it was released.
Norman Bates loves his Mother. She has been dead for the past twenty years, or so people think. Norman knows better though. He has lived with Mother ever since leaving the hospital in the old house up on the hill above the Bates motel. One night Norman spies on a beautiful woman that checks into the hotel as she undresses. Norman can't help but spy on her. Mother is there though. She is there to protect Norman from his filthy thoughts. She is there to protect him with her butcher knife.

She was a fugitive, lost in a storm. That was when she saw the sign: motel - vacancy. The sign was unlit, the motel dark. She switched off the engine, and sat thinking, alone and frightened. She had nobody. The stolen money wouldn't help her, and Sam couldn't either, because she had taken the wrong turning; she was on a strange road. There was nothing she could do now - she had made her grave and she'd have to lie in it. She froze. Where had that come from? Grave. It was bed, not grave. She shivered in the cold car, surrounded by shadows. Then, without a sound, a dark shape emerged from the blackness and the car door opened. Psycho is not a tale for queasy stomachs or faint hearts. It is filled with horrifying suspense and the climax, instead of being a relief, will hit the reader with bone-shattering force.

Die Quellen und Verastelungen utopischer Modelle sind mit den politischen, okonomischen, religiosen Strukturen ihrer Entstehungszeit eng verbunden. Zum Gebiet der Utopie zahlt nicht nur die sie begrundende sozialutopische Litera turgattung, sondern ebenfalls die geschichts-und weltpra genden Modelle in Architektur, Kunst, Technik, Medizin, Naturwissenschaften, Recht, Religion oder Naturphiloso phie. Die oft zeitgleich aufkommenden Gegenutopien sind doppelten Charakters: zum einen konnen diese Dystopien einer nihilistischen Zukunfts diagnose dienen, zum anderen kann die in ihnen dargestellte Negation der Freiheit eben dadurch einen antithetischen utopischen Horizont eroffnen. Dem Utopiethema zugehorig sind seine Dilemmata: inwie weit namlich eine utopische Zukunftsprogrammatik zur Despotie fuhren kann. Kehrseite dessen ist die kritische Funktion der Utopie, die nicht nur als theoretische Unruhe wirkt, sondern uberdies seismographisch die Widerspruche, Stromungen und Tendenzen einer Gesellschaft aufzeigt. Ein weites, vergleichsweise wenig bereistes Gebiet ist das der Naturutopie, in der der gesellschaftliche Stoffwechsel mit der Natur anders als herkommlich perspektiviert wird. Auch dieses ist Thema des Bandes und gehort zu den Orts bestimmungen im Nirgendwo: mit der unentwegten Aufgabe der Ankunft in einem unentfremdeten Jetzt und Hier."

"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown."
--H. P. LOVECRAFT, "Supernatural Horror in Literature"

Howard Phillips Lovecraft forever changed the face of horror, fantasy, and science fiction with a remarkable series of stories as influential as the works of Poe, Tolkien, and Edgar Rice Burroughs. His chilling mythology established a gateway between the known universe and an ancient dimension of otherworldly terror, whose unspeakable denizens and monstrous landscapes--dread Cthulhu, Yog-Sothoth, the Plateau of Leng, the Mountains of Madness--have earned him a permanent place in the history of the macabre.

In Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos, a pantheon of horror and fantasy's finest authors pay tribute to the master of the macabre with a collection of original stories set in the fearsome Lovecraft tradition:

¸  The Call of Cthulhu by H. P. Lovecraft: The slumbering monster-gods return to the world of mortals.
¸  Notebook Found in a Deserted House by Robert Bloch: A lone farmboy chronicles his last stand against a hungering backwoods evil.
¸  Cold Print by Ramsey Campbell: An avid reader of forbidden books finds a treasure trove of deadly volumes--available for a bloodcurdling price.
¸  The Freshman by Philip José Farmer: A student of the black arts receives an education in horror at notorious Miskatonic University.
