This way lies monsters and madness. Because youโre about to enter the imagination of H.P. Lovecraft.
A master of the short story form, Lovecraft made the unknowable scarily real. Parallel universes, alien worlds, vengeful spiritsโall realised in the space of a few pages. And all brought to life with spare, simple language, making Lovecraftโs fiction an easy read for modern audiences.
This volume contains five of his short stories: "The Horror at Martinโs Beach", "The Nameless City", "The Ghost Eater", "The Crawling Chaos" and "The Doom that Came to Sarnath". Itโs an essential collection for fans of otherworldly horror. H.P. Lovecraft was an American horror and science fiction writer. Born in Rhode Island, he became a pioneer of โcosmic horrorโ, conjuring up a lore of supernatural creatures who exist beyond our understanding. His best known stories include "The Call of Cthulhu", "At the Mountains of Madness" and "The Colour Out of Space". While he was a mainstay of pulp magazines, Lovecraft never achieved wider literary recognition in his lifetime. But his posthumous influence has been profound. It can be found in everything from the fiction of Stephen King and Neil Gaiman to the HBO series "Lovecraft Country".
