Overview
Featuring nine chilling tales:
“Polaris,” “Beyond the Wall of Sleep,” “The Temple,” “From Beyond,” “Herbert West: Reanimator,” “The Shunned House,” “Cool Air,” “The Whisperer in Darkness,” and At the Mountains of Madness.
Howard Phillips Lovecraft found little success during his lifetime. His writing was published only in pulp magazines, remaining virtually unknown to the public and maligned by critics. Now, a century later, Lovecraft is hailed as a progenitor of “weird fiction,” a master of the supernatural whose eerie, scientific horror has for decades gripped readers and invade the psyches of science fifction writers, filmmakers, and artists of all stripes.
From “Herbert West: Reanimator,” a tale of two scientists’ grave robbery and mission to resurrect the dead, to “Cool Air,” a desperate man’s plan to conquer death, to At the Mountains of Madness, a report of Antarctic researchers discovering remnants of a sprawling, ancient, and advanced civilization, Lovecraft’s visions of science and exploration threaten the very seams of our known universe.
But readers won’t find themselves alone on this journey through Arkham and beyond. Leslie S. Klinger joins as an intrepid guide, penning explanatory annotations and sharp historical insights to accompany each story. Featuring an introduction by New York Times best-selling author Tamsyn Muir, this is an essential collection for Lovecraft newcomers and devoted fans alike who seek the cosmic horrors that lie in wait.
