HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics. "I am writing this under an appreciable mental strain, since by tonight I shall be no more."This selection of works showcases the best-known, most chilling stories of H. P. Lovecraft, including Dagon, The Call of Cthulhu, The Thing on the Doorstep and Herbert West - Reanimator. They feature such deadly horrors as terrifying sea-creatures, menaces from outer space, evil-worshipping cults and unexpected murder by familiar hands. There is no place so frightful that Lovecraft did not venture there, and these tales will leave the imagination reeling, yet dare you to turn the page...

Author description

H. P. Lovecraft (1890-1937) never achieved commercial success during his lifetime and died in poverty. He was posthumously recognised as one of the most important writers of the horror genre, having laid the foundations for generations to come and inspired countless authors with his wildly imaginative stories of myths, monsters and madness.
