LOVECRAFT H P - GEBRAUCHT THE CALL OF CTHULHU A...

Credited with inventing the modern horror tradition  H. P. Lovecraft remade the genre in the
early twentieth century  discarding ghosts and witches and instead envisaging mankind at the
mercy of a chaotic and malevolent universe.This selection of stories ranges from early tales of
nightmares and insanity such as The Outsider and Rats in the Walls  through the grotesquely
comic - Herbert West Reanimator and The Hound  to the extra-terrestrial terror of The Call of
Cthulhu  which fuses traditional supernaturalism with science fiction. Including the definitive
corrected texts  this collection reveals the development of Lovecraft's mesmerizing narrative
style and establishes him as a hugely influential - and visionary - American writer.
