Preposterous, overblown, absurd in every way - yet with an originality that looks more powerful and convincing each time I dip into it.- PHILIP PULLMAN Lovecraft opened the way for me, as he had done for others before me- STEPHEN KING 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. This handsome 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.
