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.
The Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories contains the following tales: "Dagon", "The Statement of Randolph Carter", "Facts Concerning the Late Arthur Jermyn and His Family", "Celephaïs", "Nyarlathotep", "The Picture in the House", "The Outsider", "Herbert West - Reanimator", "The Hound", "The Rats in the Wall", "The Festival", "He", "Cool Air", "The Call of Cthulhu", "The Colour Out of Space", "The Whisperer in Darkness", "The Shadow Over Innsmouth", "The Haunter of the Dark".
