The Best of H. P. Lovecraft

Twenty-eight timeless stories of supernatural terror and macabre imagination by “the 20th century’s greatest practitioner of the classic horror tale” (Stephen King).

H. P. Lovecraft’s unique literary vision has influenced generations of authors whose work comprises its own subgenre: Lovecraftian horror. His legacy can be seen everywhere, from the HBO drama series Lovecraft Country to the enduring Cthulhu Mythos—a fictional universe first developed by Lovecraft in several of the stories included here.

An essential collection for any horror fan, this volume presents some of Lovecraft’s finest short fiction, including “The Statement of Randolph Carter,” “Herbert West—Reanimator,” “The Festival,” “Dagon,” “The Temple,” and “The Music of Erich Zann,” among others.
