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.
