H.P Lovecraft was an American writer of weird, horror, fantasy, and science fiction. He is best known for his creation of the Cthulhu Mythos, but his legacy is also apparent in terms like "Lovecraftian horror" and an enduring fandom. Filled with suspense, amazing creatures and sensationally scary scenarios, this collection of his short stories demonstrates the power of Lovecraft's ability to thrill and entertain. From 1923 on, most of Lovecraft's short stories appeared in the magazine Weird Tales. His Cthulhu Mythos series of tales describe ordinary New Englanders' encounters with horrific beings of extra terrestrial origin. Lovecraft was a master of poetic language, and he attained unusually high literary standards in his particular fictional genre. He made his living as a ghost-writer and rewrite man and spent most of his life in seclusion and poverty. His fame as a writer increased after his death.
