The Works of H.P. Lovecraft Vol. III - Horror & Other Stories

Buchbeschreibung

Howard Phillips "H. P." Lovecraft (1890-1937) was an American author who achieved posthumous fame through his influential works of horror fiction. Virtually unknown and only published in pulp magazines before he died in poverty, he is now regarded as one of the most significant 20th-century authors in his genre.

Horror, fantasy, and science fiction author Stephen King called Lovecraft "the twentieth century's greatest practitioner of the classic horror tale." King has made it clear in his semi-autobiographical non-fiction book Danse Macabre that Lovecraft was responsible for King's own fascination with horror and the macabre, and was the single largest figure to influence his fiction writing.

Lovecraft's fiction has been grouped into three categories by some critics.

Macabre stories (c. 1905-1920)

Dream Cycle stories (c. 1920-1927)

Cthulhu / Lovecraft Mythos stories (c. 1925-1935)

We have divided the H. P. Lovecraft large canon of novels and stories in three volumes;

Volume 1 - The Cthulhu Mythos

Volume 2 - The Dream Cycle

Volume 3 - Horror and Other Stories.

Ten of the 24 stories in Volume 1 and 2 are identical as we prefer to keep the categories intact.
