Part of our "Fantasy and Horror Classics" imprint, "The Thing on the Doorstep" constitutes a must-read for horror lovers and fans of Lovecraft's chilling work. Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890-1937) was an American writer of supernatural horror fiction. Though his works remained largely unknown and did not furnish him with a decent living, Lovecraft is today considered to be among the most significant writers of supernatural horror fiction of the twentieth century. Other notable works by this author include: "At The Mountains of Madness", "The Rats in the Walls", and "The Shadow Over Innsmouth". Read & Co. is publishing this classic novella now in a new edition with a dedication by George Henry Weiss.
