Synopsis
Lovecraft's otherworldly visions of cosmic horrors, alien beings and a world not quite our own remain immensely powerful and able to terrify even the most resolute readers.

This volume includes such cult classics as 'The Call of Cthulhu', 'The Whisperer in the Darkness' and 'The Shadow over Innsmouth'. Includes the favourite stories of one of America's greatest ever horror writers. The Cthulhu universe has been adapted into several different formats, including the Alone in the Dark video game series and countless movies.

About the Author
H. P. Lovecraft was born in Providence, Rhode Island, in the US in 1890. Influenced by various literary interests, first in the Tales of Arabian Nights, then Greek mythology and also gothic tales told to him by his grandfather, Lovecraft mixed these together with an interest in science and gave voice to his ideas in a series of dark tales of fantasy and horror. He suffered from ill health, at one point having a nervous breakdown, and he was unable to attend university, which was a huge disappointment to him. He died in 1937, but his legacy lives on in a body of work that has inspired countless films, TV series, board games and toys, as well as the work of many other writers.
