H.P. Lovecraft cover

This collection of H.P. Lovecraft's most influential works presents several of his most famous stories, a sampling of his poetry and an abridgment of his monograph Supernatural Horror in Literature, with commentary providing background and context. Criticism is included from such scholars as S.T. Joshi and Robert M. Price, along with essays by writers Brad Strickland and T.E.D. Klein, and interviews with Pulitzer-nominated author Richard Monaco (Parsival) and award-winning novelists Cherie Priest (Boneshaker) and Caitlin Kiernan (The Drowning Girl).

“The critical essays explore a variety of aspects of Lovecraft’s work, such as his story structure, his relationship to Victorian fiction and modernism, and the ever-present issue of his racism and its reflection in his work...highly recommended”—Booklist; “Exceptionally informative and thoroughly ‘reader friendly’ in organization and presentation...recommended”—Midwest Book Review; “Butts does an admirable job selecting and annotating Lovecraft’s literary and critical writings...valuable.”—Mythlore.
