This is a newly released, beautifully bound collection which includes all of H.P. Lovecraft's fiction. The Macabre Stories, The Dream Cycle Stories, The Cthulhu Mythos... they're all here. 

For those who are unfamiliar with Lovecraft... he is the creator of Cthulhu, not to mention the Necronomicon. If you still don't know what I'm talking about, let me just say that his fiction inspired Stephen King, H.R. Giger, Guillermo Del Toro, John Carpenter, Neil Gaiman and countless others. Movies with Lovecraftian themes include Evil Dead, The Thing, Re-Animator and Cabin in the Woods. If you're into video games... Dead Space, World of Warcraft, Skyrim and Amnesia all pay homage to Lovecraft.

Basically, if you like horror and you haven't read Lovecraft... You better get on that.

Lovecraft's own quote sums up his particular type of horror best:

"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown."

From tentacled beings beyond human understanding to ancient family curses to mysterious dreams, Lovecraft is about the unknown, the incomprehensible, the things which drive a person mad - over time or in an instant of sheer terror.

If you are or know a fan of horror, this is a must have collection.
