THE ULTIMATE LOVECRAFTIAN HORROR ANTHOLOGY: From the depths of R'lyeh come 21 "exceptional" and utterly terrifying horror short stories inspired by H.P. Lovecraft (Kirkus)! Taking their inspiration from works by H.P. Lovecraft himself, prominent writers such as Caitlin R. Kiernan, Brian Stableford, Ramsey Campbell, Michael Shea, Darrell Schweitzer, Donald R. Burleson, and David J. Schow delve deep into the psyche, expanding on concepts Lovecraft created and taking them in new directions. The result is this horror anthology featuring wholly original horror short stories--some even featuring Lovecraft himself. Editor S.T. Joshi is the recognized authority on all things Lovecraftian, famous for his restorations of Lovecraft's original works.
