In this volume, Leslie S. Klinger reanimates Lovecraft with clarity and historical insight, charting the rise of the erstwhile pulp writer, whose rediscovery and reclamation into the literary canon can be compared only to that of Poe or Melville.

Over the course of his career, Lovecraft--"the Copernicus of the horror story" (Fritz...
