H. P. Lovecraft

Opis

These early works by H. P. Lovecraft were originally published in the first half of the 20th century. As a collection of short stories, this represents Lovecrafts tales of creatures and monsters, and includes The Outsider, The Shadow Over Innsmouth, The Unnamable, The Whisperer in Darkness, The Call of Cthulhu, and many other titles. Born in 1890 in Rhode Island, USA, Lovecraft began writing at a very young age, quickly developing a deep and abiding interest in science. In 1913, Lovecraft joined the UAPA (United Amateur Press Association) but it was four years later, in 1917, that he began to focus on fiction, producing such well-known early stories as Dagon and A Reminiscence of Dr. Samuel Johnson. However, it was during the last decade of his life that Lovecraft produced his most notable works, such as the Dunwich Horror and The Call of Cthulhu which subsequently earned him his place as one of the most influential horror writers of the 20th century. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions.
