H.P. Lovecraft, one of the great obsessive writers of the 20th century, naturally chose the pulp genre of 'weird horror' in which to exorcise his acute anatomical alienation and existential torment.

A new expanded edition, including stories not previously included. A distinctive collection of tales of the gruesome and bizarre.
