THE CALL OF CTHULHU AND OTHER WEIRD STORIES (PE...

A definitive collection of stories from the unrivaled master of twentieth-century horror in a
Penguin Classics Deluxe edition with cover art by Travis Louie   Frequently imitated and widely
influential  Howard Philips Lovecraft reinvented the horror genre in the 1920s  discarding
ghosts and witches and instead envisioning mankind as a tiny outpost of dwindling sanity in a
chaotic and malevolent universe. S. T. Joshi  Lovecraft's preeminent interpreter  presents a
selection of the master's fiction  from the early tales of nightmares and madness such as "The
Outsider" to the overpowering cosmic terror of "The Call of Cthulhu." More than just a
collection of terrifying tales  this volume reveals the development of Lovecraft's mesmerizing
narrative style and establishes him as a canonical - and visionary - American writer.  For more
than seventy years  Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the
English-speaking world. With more than 1 700 titles  Penguin Classics represents a global
bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust
the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished
scholars and contemporary authors  as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning
translators.
