About the author
Renowned as one of the great horror-writers of all time, H.P. Lovecraft was born in 1890 and lived most of his life in Providence, Rhode Island. Among his many classic horror stories, many of which were published in book form only after his death in 1937, are ‘At the Mountains of Madness and Other Novels of Terror’ (1964), ‘Dagon and Other Macabre Tales’ (1965), and ‘The Horror in the Museum and Other Revisions’ (1970).
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This last volume of a trilogy represents the culmination of a monumental projectthe bringing into print of Lovecraft's stories in their definitive form, based on manuscripts and notes. This volume also contains the important study, "Supernatural Horror in Literature,'' and repairs a longtime need by providing it with an index. T. E. D. Klein, whose work has been influenced by Lovecraft, contributes a long introduction tracing the authors who themselves influenced Lovecraft, in particular Lord Dunsany. Among the stories are ``From Beyond'' and ``Herbert WestReanimator,'' both of which have recently been brought to the screen, ``Beyond the Wall of Sleep,'' ``The Lurking Fear'' and ``Under the Pyramid,'' this last ghostwritten for Harry Houdini. Joshi, whose long-time project this has been, has also provided a chronological listing of HPL's works.
