Credited with inventing the modern horror tradition, H. P. Lovecraft remade the genre in the early twentieth century, discarding ghosts and witches and instead envisaging mankind at the mercy of a chaotic and malevolent universe.
This selection of stories ranges from early tales of nightmares and insanity such as The Outsider' and Rats in the Walls', through the grotesquely comic Herbert West Reanimator' and The Hound', to the extra-terrestrial terror of The Call of Cthulhu', which fuses traditional supernaturalism with science fiction. Including the definitive corrected texts, this collection reveals the development of Lovecraft's mesmerizing narrative style and establishes him as a hugely influential - and visionary - American writer.
H. P. Lovecraft (1890-1937), creador de mundos imaginarios y de inolvidables relatos de horror cósmico , es uno de los autores de referencia de la literatura fantástica, siendo uno de los grandes renovadores de este género en el siglo XX.
