Beschreibung

A facsimile reprint of a rare early issue of the legendary Weird Tales -- the pulp magazine that defined American horror and fantasy fiction for generation. This special reprint features the debut of "Imprisoned with the Pharaohs," ghostwritten by H. P. Lovecraft for escape artist Harry Houdini. Also included are macabre tales by Otis Adelbert Kline, Henry S. Whitehead, and C. M. Eddy Jr., plus the eerie "Hypnos" and part two of the occult detective serial Ebenezer's Casket. From haunted mansions and strange experiments to resurrected corpses, psychic visions, and supernatural pacts, these stories reveal the raw creative energy of early 20th-century horror and fantasy. With more than thirty chilling tales and vignettes, this mammoth oversized issue offers a thrilling journey into the weird imagination of a bygone literary era.

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.
