An introduction to the weird and unsettling world of H.P. Lovecraft, master of horror and pioneer of 'weird fiction'


An introduction to the weird and unsettling world of H.P. Lovecraft, master and pioneer of horror.

 Between these pages you will find things that lurk, things that scurry in the walls, things that move unseen, things that have learnt to walk that ought to crawl, unfathomable blackness, unconquerable evil, inhuman impulses, abnormal bodies, ancient rites, nameless lands best left undiscovered, thoughts best left unspoken, doors best left closed, names best forgotten.

You have been warned.

Product description

Review

The twentieth century horror story's dark and baroque prince -- Stephen King

Dark, weird tales about tentacled beasts, ancient artifacts that ooze unidentifiable slime and baby-eating cultists eager to bring about the end of the world ― New York Times

Lovecraft found a voice that was profoundly his own -- and brought horror into the 20th century. His best stories sent the gothic into collision with science fiction and offered a bleak vision of a world whose thin veneer of civilization was being stripped away by an implacable zeal for knowledge ― Washington Post

The founding father of what has become known as "weird fiction''...Lovecraft has nothing in common with Anita Brookner ― Daily Telegraph

Book Description

It's science fiction from the masters of the genre! Special 3-D cover design PLUS each book comes with 3D glasses!

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

H. P. Lovecraft was born in 1890 in Providence, Rhode Island, where he lived most of his life. He wrote many essays and poems early in his career, but gradually focused on the writing of horror stories, after the advent in 1923 of the pulp magazine Weird Tales, to which he contributed most of his fiction. His relatively small corpus of fiction--three short novels and about sixty short stories--has nevertheless exercised a wide influence on subsequent work in the field, and he is regarded as the leading twentieth-century American author of supernatural fiction. H. P. Lovecraft died in Providence in 1937.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comes with 3D glasses!!!
Reviewed in Australia on 8 March 2021

The book is a good selection of H.P. Lovecraft's stories, the very first in the book being 'The Rats in the Walls'- which features a cat with the namesake of Lovecraft's own cat, and a very bold racial slur. Reading this story first is very confrontational, and I soon realized, as a new reader of H.P. Lovecraft's works, that the racism in his works is sometimes covert and sneaky, but most of the time it's just out in the open, plain for everyone to see, and reading his stories takes a lot of reflection and criticism of the author. You can't just read the stories and ignore the author's awful ideas and beliefs, but that doesn't at all mean you can't enjoy and engage with what you're reading.
His writing was and still is incredibly influential to the horror genre, and I really enjoyed seeing the source material for so much Lovecraft-inspired media. I've had a few good nightmares since I bought this book.
The cover of the book was created by artist Vladimir Zimakov, and is a really cool 3D design with claws and tentacles that I love. The book itself also contains a short biography of the author, and is a high-quality paperback.

Como fan de Lovecraft debo decir que es una buena edición digital, sin embargo le doy cuatro estrellas, por que no puedo tener una versión física y por que usa el 3D como atractivo, a pesar de que solo la portada cuenta con un filtro 3D

5.0 out of 5 stars its a good book
Reviewed in India on 17 January 2019

Its a good book but it didn't have the full story of Cthulhu mythos and the book cover is the only thing that was 3d about it... So I say go for it, it has a good story to get into Cthulhu mythos and it has plenty of other good stories for you to read

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Collection of His Work
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 July 2018
Verified Purchase
Excellent collection of Lovecraft's work, recommend to anyone who wants to experience it for the first time, and see why his work is so influential to other horror authors. Small warning when going in about some of the racist views that Lovecraft holds, left me with a small grimace at moments when reading some of the authors views, but overall a good read.
