Synopsis

â H. P. Lovecraft has yet to be surpassed as the twentieth centuryâ s greatest practitioner of the classic horror tale.â
â Stephen King

â Lovecraftâ s fiction is one of the cornerstones of modern horror.â
â Clive Barker


Some tales in this collection were inspired by H. P. Lovecraft, others he revised, two he co-authoredâ but all bear the mark of the master of primordial terror.

The Horror in the Museumâ Locked up for the night, a man will discover the difference between waxen grotesqueries and the real thing.

The Electric Executionerâ Aboard a train, a traveler must match wits with a murderous madman.

The Trapâ This mirror wants a great deal more than your reflection.

The Ghost-Eaterâ In an ancient woodland, the past comes to life with a bone-crunching vengeance.

AND TWENTY MORE STORIES OF UNSPEAKABLE EVIL

About this title

About the Author:

Almost completely ignored by the mainstream press during his lifetime, H. P. Lovecraft has since come to be recognized as one of the greatest writers of classic horror, on a par with Edgar Allan Poe, Lovecraft's mentor. H. P. Lovecraft's work has been translated into more than a dozen languages, his tales adapted for film, television, and comic books, and he has been the subject of more scholarly study than any other writer of horror fiction save Poe.
