Beschreibung

“H. P. Lovecraft has yet to be surpassed as the twentieth century’s greatest practitioner of the classic horror tale.”—Stephen King
Some tales in this collection were inspired by H. P. Lovecraft, others he revised, two he co-authored–but all bear the mark of the master of primordial terror.

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

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

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

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

And twenty more stories of unspeakable evil!

“Lovecraft’s fiction is one of the cornerstones of modern horror.”—Clive Barker

Über den Autor

H. P. Lovecraft was born in Providence, Rhode Island, in 1890, and spent the majority of his life there. Early in his career, he produced a large number of essays and poetry, but after the launch of the pulp magazine Weird Tales in 1923, to which he supplied the majority of his fiction, he progressively turned his attention to creating horror stories. His very tiny body of work-three short novels and roughly sixty short stories-has nevertheless had a significant impact on later work in the genre, and he is considered the foremost American writer of supernatural fiction of the twentieth century. In 1937, H. P. Lovecraft passed away in Providence. Lovecraft has always had a fascination with science, but his lifelong ill health stopped him from going to college. He spent the majority of his life in solitude and abject poverty while earning a job as a ghostwriter and story writer. His literary reputation grew after his passing. Weird Tales published the majority of Lovecraft's short stories beginning in 1923. His Cthulhu Mythos collection of tales portrays encounters between regular New Englanders and scary extraterrestrial beings. He combines his in-depth knowledge of New England's geography and culture in these short stories.
