The Case of Charles Dexter Ward

A nameless terror surges through centuries to engulf the soul of Charles Dexter Ward, a brilliant New England antiquarian. Evil spirits, malefic gods whose memory lives on in whispered legends and fear stricken superstitions, still lurk in vile catacombs beneath the surface of a blighted land. Ward is driven to unleash these loathsome horrors upon a defenceless world, possessed by the demonic shade of his ancestor Joseph Curwen, a warlock steeped in the blackest arts of magic. Now Ward too must master these obscene rituals, and pay the price in blood. Human blood. The Case of Charles Dexter Ward remains the only full length work of fiction by HP Lovecraft, the master of 20th century horror.

Herbert West: Reanimator

Howard Phillips Lovecraft 1890 1937 was an American author of horror, fantasy, and science fiction, known then simply as weird fiction. His major inspiration and invention was cosmic horror: the idea that life is incomprehensible to human minds and that the universe is fundamentally alien. Those who genuinely reason, like his protagonists, gamble with sanity. He has developed a cult following for his Cthulhu Mythos, a series of loosely interconnected fictions featuring a pantheon of human nullifying entities, as well as the Necronomicon, a fictional grimoire of magical rites and forbidden lore. His works were deeply pessimistic and cynical, challenging the values of Enlightenment, Romanticist, and Christian humanism. Lovecraft’s protagonists usually achieve the mirror opposite of traditional gnosis and mysticism by momentarily glimpsing the horror of ultimate reality. Although Lovecraft s readership was limited during his life, his reputation has grown over the decades, and he is now commonly regarded as one of the most influential horror writers of the 20th century, exerting widespread and indirect influence, and frequently compared to Edgar Allan Poe.

At the Mountains of Madness

Multi eyed protoplasmic entities, flesh eating ghouls, animate corpses, time traveling body snatchers, and, yes, huge albino penguins. These are some of the bizarre creatures that populate the universe created by American horror author H. P. Lovecraft. Lovecraft has influenced many of today’s most famous writers and artists, including master of contemporary horror fiction Stephen King, Academy Award nominated director Guillermo Del Toro, and artist and Alien set designer H. R. Giger. This collection includes three selections from the Cthulhu Mythos: the novella At the Mountains of Madness, which is often considered Lovecraft s masterpiece; The Thing on the Doorstep ; and The Shadow Out of Time. While including all the chilling cyclopean vistas, monstrous abominations and appalling transformations that readers have come to expect from Lovecraft, this also showcases his fantasy writing in stories such as The Cats of Ulthar, The Silver Key, and notably The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath.

The Shadow Over Innsmouth

The Shadow Over Innsmouth‘ is a short novel about a weird hybrid race of humans and creatures resembling a cross between a fish and a frog, which lives in the seaside village of Innsmouth.

And yet, this text has never been published as Lovecraft wrote it until now. The recent discovery of Lovecraft s handwritten manuscript allows readers to appreciate this magnificently cosmic story exactly as originally written. All previous editions of the story contain hundreds of serious errors, including errors in paragraphing, omissions and mistranscriptions of many words and passages, and erroneous punctuation. But now, the breathtaking scope of this novella the story of the Great Race s conquest of time and space by means of mind projection, and the hapless fate of Professor Nathaniel Wingate Peaslee as a victim of the Great Race s quest for all the secrets of the universe can, for the first time, be fully understood. Leading Lovecraft scholars S. T. Joshi and David E. Schultz have provided an exhaustive introduction and commentary on the story, elucidating names, places and other elements in this richly evocative story.

The Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories

An unparalleled selection of fiction from H. P. Lovecraft, master of the American horror taleLong after his death, H. P. Lovecraft continues to enthrall readers with his gripping tales of madness and cosmic terror, and his effect on modern horror fiction continues to be felt Stephen King, Anne Rice, and Clive Barker have acknowledged his influence. His unique contribution to American literature was a melding of Poe’s traditional supernaturalism with the emerging genre of science fiction. Originally appearing in pulp magazines like Weird Tales in the 1920s and 1930s, Lovecraft’s work is now being regarded as the most important supernatural fiction of the twentieth century. Lovecraft’s biographer and preeminent interpreter, S. T. Joshi, has prepared this volume of eighteen stories from the early classics like ‘The Outsider’ and ‘Rats in the Wall’ to his mature masterworks, ‘The Call of Cthulhu’ and ‘The Shadow Over Innsmouth.’ The first paperback to include the definitive corrected texts, The Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories reveals the development of Lovecraft’s mesmerizing narrative style, and establishes him as a canonical and visionary American writer. ‘I think it is beyond doubt that H. P. Lovecraft has yet to be surpassed as the twentieth century’s greatest practitioner of the classic horror tale.’ Stephen King

The Colour Out of Space

‘The true weird tale has something more than a secret murder, bloody bones, or a sheeted form clanking chains. An atmosphere of breathless and unexplainable dread of outer, unknown forces must be present; a hint of that most terrible conception of the human brain a malign and particular suspension or defeat of those fixed laws of Nature which are our only safeguard against the assaults of chaos and the daemons of unplumbed space.’ H. P. LovecraftThis new collection features some of the greatest masters of extreme terror, among them Edgar Allan Poe, Ambrose Bierce, Bram Stoker, and Henry James, and includes such classic works as Arthur Machen’s ‘The White People,’ Algernon Blackwood’s ‘The Willows,’ and of course Lovecraft’s own weird and hideous ‘The Colour Out of Space.’Contents:Edgar Allan Poe, ‘MS.

Necronomicon

WIKIPEDIA says: ‘H.P. Lovecraft’s reputation has grown tremendously over the decades, and he is now commonly regarded as one of the most important horror writers of the 20th century, exerting an influence that is widespread, though often indirect.’ H.P. Lovecraft’s tales of the tentacled Elder God Cthulhu and his pantheon of alien deities were initially written for the pulp magazines of the 1920s and ’30s. These astonishing tales blend elements of horror, science fiction and cosmic terror that are as powerful today as they were when they were first published. This handsome leatherbound tome collects together the very best of Lovecraft’s tales of terror, including the complete Cthulhu Mythos cycle, just the way they were originally published. It will introduce a whole new generation of readers to Lovecraft’s fiction, as well as being a must buy for those fans who want all his work in a single, definitive, highly attractive volume.

At the Mountains of Madness and Other Tales of Terror

Multi eyed protoplasmic entities, flesh eating ghouls, animate corpses, time traveling body snatchers, and, yes, huge albino penguins. These are some of the bizarre creatures that populate the universe created by American horror author H. P. Lovecraft. Lovecraft has influenced many of today’s most famous writers and artists, including master of contemporary horror fiction Stephen King, Academy Award nominated director Guillermo Del Toro, and artist and Alien set designer H. R. Giger.

Tales of H.P. Lovecraft

When he died in 1937, destitute and emotionally as well as physically ruined, H. P. Lovecraft had no idea that he would one day be celebrated as the godfather of modern horror. A dark visionary, his work would influence an entire generation of writers, including Stephen King, Clive Barker, Neil Gaiman, and Anne Rice. Now, the most important tales of this distinctive American storyteller have been collected in a single volume by National Book Award winning author Joyce Carol Oates.

In tales that combine the nineteenth century gothic sensibility of Edgar Allan Poe with a uniquely daring internal vision, Lovecraft fuses the supernatural and mundane into a terrifying, complex, and exquisitely realized vision, foretelling a psychically troubled century to come. Set in a meticulously described New England landscape, here are harrowing stories that explore the total collapse of sanity beneath the weight of chaotic events stories of myth and madness that release monsters into our world. Lovecraft’s universe is a frightening shadow world where reality and nightmare intertwine, and redemption can come only from below.

The Dunwich Horror and Others

H. P. Lovecraft 1890 1937 was the most important American horror fiction writer of the first half of the 20th century whose fiction, especially about the Cthulhu Mythos universe, spanned both time and space. He never achieved financial success; however, he did become good friends with several big writers, notably Robert Bloch Psycho and Robert E. Howard of Conan fame. The ‘Cthulhu Mythos’ grew out of the Lovecraft Circle, a writing group where everyone shared in Lovecraft’s Mythos stories. The most famous of these were ‘The Call of Cthulhu’ and ‘At the Mountains of Madness’. Many novels and stories have come from his Mythos tales, one of the most famous being The Necronomicon, written by the ‘Mad Arab’ Abdul Alhazred, which first appeared in Lovecraft’s story ‘The Hound’. Lovecraft’s health and financial situation began to fail seriously in the mid 1930s. He died in 1937 of cancer of the intestine, never knowing what a giant of the horror genre he was to become.

Dewart’s investigations into his family’s sinister past eventually lead to the unspeakable revelations of The Great Old Ones who wait on the boundaries of space and time for someone to summon them to earth. Acclaimed cult horror writer H. P. Lovecraft’s notes and outlines for this tale of uncanny terror were completed by August Derleth, his friend and future publisher.

Prior to the publication of The Ancient Track, Lovecraft’s poetry had been scattered across several different volumes whose textual accuracy has not always been exemplary, while several pomes had been uncollected. ‘This is an essential tome for every self respecting Lovecraftian…

One of the masters of weird fiction’, H. P. Lovecraft expanded the vast boundaries of the horror genre with his vividly imagined stories of exotic and fantastical otherworlds, nightmarish dreamscapes or the supernatural terrors lurking beneath the surface of small town America.

Others, such as From Beyond’ and The Shadow Out of Time’, depict the catastrophic results when cosmic channels of time and space are opened, while stories such as Polaris’ and The Doom that Came to Sarnath’ portray the downfall of mythical civilizations.

Letters to Alfred Galpin

Alfred Galpin 1901 1983 was among H. P. Lovecraft’s most brilliant and stimulating correspondents: a youthful prodigy, he had already become so knowledgeable in literature and philosophy that by 1921 Lovecraft wrote: ‘He is intellectually exactly like mesave in degree. In degree he is immensely my superior he is what I should like to be but have not brains enough to be.’ In this volume, Lovecraft’s fascinating letters to his friend are collected for the first time, with footnotes and detailed commentary by the editors.

Collected Essays of H.P. Lovecraft, Vol. 1: Amateur Journalism

Discovering the amateur press in 1914, Lovecraft immediately flooded the many small papers of his friends and colleagues with contributions discussing the nature, purpose, and future of amateur journalism. He also edited his own magazine, The Conservative 1915 23, filling it with additional essays. In these articles Lovecraft discusses the conflict between the United and the National Amateur Press Associations; the ‘halcyon days’ of the amateur movement 1885 95; and the ‘needs and betterment’ of the amateur cause. We read of Lovecraft’s bitter feuds with his fellow amateurs; his exhaustive critiques of their writing; and, most poignant of all, his touching affirmation of ‘What Amateurdom and I Have Done for Each Other,’ in which he concludes simply: ‘What Amateur Journalism has given me is life itself.’

Collected Essays of H.P. Lovecraft, Vol. 2: Literary Criticism

Lovecraft’s writings in the realm of literary criticism are unfailingly acute and cover a surprisingly wide range. Besides his authoritative early essay on ‘The Literature of Rome’ 1918, other works condemn free verse and simple spelling, and devote attention to neglected poets. Discovering weird fiction as his chosen field, he produced such scintillating essays as ‘Lord Dunsany and His Work’ 1922 and ‘Supernatural Horror in Literature’ 1927, along with essays on Frank Belknap Long and Clark Ashton Smith. Late in life Lovecraft codified his grasp of weird literature by writing such trenchant pieces as ‘Notes on Writing Weird Fiction’ 1933 and ‘Some Notes on Interplanetary Fiction’ 1934. One of his last writings, ‘Suggestions for a Reading Guide’ 1936, is a comprehensive discussion of world literature. H. P.

A Means to Freedom: The Letters of H. P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard (With: Robert E. Howard)

H. P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard are two of the titans of weird fiction of their era. Dominating the pages of Weird Tales in the 1920s and 1930s, they have gained worldwide followings for their compelling writings and also for the very different lives they led. The two writers came in touch in 1930, when Howard wrote to Lovecraft via Weird Tales. A rich and vibrant correspondence immediately ensued. Both writers were fascinated with the past, especially the history of Roman and Celtic Britain, and their letters are full of intriguing discussions of contemporary theories on this subject. Gradually, a new discussion came to the fore a complex dispute over the respective virtues of barbarism and civilisation, the frontier and settled life, and the physical and the mental. Lovecraft, a scion of centuries old New England, and Howard, a product of recently settled Texas, were diametrically opposed on these and other issues, and each writes compellingly of his beliefs, attitudes, and theories. The result is a dramatic debate livened by wit, learning, and personal revelation that is as enthralling as the fiction they were writing at the time. All the letters have been exhaustively annotated by the editors. In the second volume of the letters of H. P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard, the two authors continue their wide ranging discussion of such central issues as the relative value of barbarism and civilization, the virtues of the frontier and of settled city life, and other related issues. Lovecraft regales Howard with his extensive travels up and down the eastern seaboard, including trips to Quebec, Florida, and obscure corners of New England, while Howard writes engagingly of his own travels through the lonely stretches of Texas. Each has great praise for the other’s writings in Weird Tales and elsewhere, and each conducts searching discussions of literature, philosophy, politics, and economics in the wake of the depression and Franklin D. Roosevelt’s election. World affairs, including the rise of Hitler and Mussolini, also engage their attention. All letters are exhaustively edited by the editors, and the volume concludes with an extensive bibliography of both writers as well as the publication of a few letters to Lovecraft from Robert E. Howard’s father, Dr. I. M. Howard, in the wake of his son’s tragic and unexpected suicide.
