There are many writers of science fiction, horror, strange tales and fantasy fiction. But if there is a king of this bizarre little corner of the literary world, it is the one-and-only H.P. Lovecraft.

For decades, Lovecraft has been hailed as the first name in strange, disturbing, grisly and unsettling fiction. His tales of odd creatures, powerful gods and things that go bump in the night have been giving readers nightmares since he first began producing fiction in the early 20th century.

Collected here are over thirty of his strangest and most original short tales of monsters, madness and mayhem. They are presented here as never before, in their original and unabridged format.
