Macabre Stories Description: At the Mountains of Madness and Other Stories Lovecraft's most famous and most terrifying novel is collected here with two of his novellas, The Shadow Over Innsmouth and The Thing on the Doorstep, to provide a shocking introduction to the world of Lovecraft's imagination. Set in the Cthulhu mythos, these stories are classics of the gothic tradition. From the investigation of the City of the Old Ones on the Antarctic plateau to the everyday horror to be found in the small New England town of Innsmouth, Lovecraft evokes terror in a way that no other writer can rival. The Dunwich Horror and Other Stories Wilbur Whateley is born in strange circumstances in the small, isolated village of Dunwich. He is shunned by the local community and turns to shadowy rituals and the study of witchcraft. When a ghastly monster is released, it is not just the people of Dunwich who are threatened, but the very existence of the human race... The Call of Cthulhu and Other Stories H.P. Lovecraft marries creeping horror and colossal fantasy in his gothic tales. These brilliant narratives show humanity confronted with ineffable creatures and grim geographies, as individuals lift the veil to discover hidden realities. This collection brings together 11 of Lovecraft's short stories, including 'Call of the Cthulhu', 'The History of the Necronomicon' and 'Rats in the Walls', where we encounter ancient and cosmic terrors. The mythologies and landscapes in these tales have inspired countless tales and remain true classics of American literature. The Randolph Carter Tales Most of Lovecraft's tales were standalone and of the short fiction variety, but in the Randolph Carter Tales Lovecraft followed one character through a series of terrifying adventures. This volume includes the novella The Dream-Quest of the Unknown Kadath, The Statement of Randolph Carter, and The Silver Key, amongst other stories. The Randolph Carter stories are some of the most mature and philosophical of any of Lovecraft's fiction. Macabre Stories This collection brings together the unique stories from H. P. Lovecraft's formative years, ranging from the petrifying 'Dagon' through the playful 'Ibid' to the subtle horror of 'The Music of Erich Zann.' Featuring ancient powers, long-buried secrets, and cosmic terrors, Macabre Stories demonstrates the range and depth of Lovecraft's writing. Sometimes shocking, sometimes horrifying, but always engaging, these tales are an impressive example of the master of horror's ability to entertain.
