Description
The master of weird fiction, H. P. Lovecraft combines cosmic fantasy with creeping horror in these three tales of malevolent alien forces, body-switching and travel across the space-time continuum.
'Evil, in Lovecraft, is universal, pervasive' Michael Chabon
'His prescience and novelty seem more and more remarkable ... shows a deeply modern horror at the universe' Guardian
'A unique and visionary world of wonder, terror and delirium' Clive Barker
Classic science-fiction tales from the twentieth century's master of the weird.
About the Author
H.P. Lovecraft was born in Providence, Rhode Island in 1890. He was self-educated and lived in his birthplace all his life, working as a freelance writer, journalist, and ghostwriter. His best work - including some sixty or so short stories - was published from 1923 onwards in the pulp magazine Weird Tales. He died in 1937, in poverty and virtually unknown; today he is recognized as one of the great masters of supernatural fiction.
