H.P. Lovecraft – ‘The Call of Cthulhu: And Other Stories’ Book

An indispensable collection of the best of one of literature’s “most critically fascinating and yet enigmatic figures” (Alan Moore), featuring H. P. Lovecraft’s most bone-chilling tales, including: ‘Dagon,’ ‘The Outsider,’ ‘The Music of Erich Zann,’ ‘The Rats in the Walls,’ ‘The Call of Cthulhu,’ ‘The Colour Out of Space,’ ‘The Dunwich Horror,’ ‘The Shadow over Innsmouth,’ ‘The Shadow Out of Time’ and ‘The Haunter of the Dark.’

Though he died an unknown, dejected pulp-magazine writer in 1937, Howard Phillips Lovecraft is now considered the first great “genius of weird fiction” (Peter Straub).

There is no better guide through the peculiarities of his universe than Leslie S. Klinger, whose work as the annotator of the “exciting and definitive” (Danielle Trussoni, New York Times Book Review) New Annotated H. P. Lovecraft has proven him a leading Lovecraft scholar.

From the early tale ‘Dagon’ to the mature and sprawling ‘The Haunter of the Dark,’ these expertly curated stories built a Lovecraftian sense of dread that has reverberated in the world of horror literature for generations: that all of us are “outsiders” in the universe.
