by H. P. Lovecraft, Matt Ruff (Contribution by), Dean Kelly (Editor)

Overview

Chatwin Books presents our first collection of spine-chilling stories by H. P. Lovecraft featuring an introduction by Matt Ruff, author of

Sewer, Gas, Electric; Set This House in Order; Bad Monkeys; 88 Names; and Lovecraft Country, the basis for the HBO TV show.

So the first thing you should know is, he can be an acquired taste.

In the Dreamlands stories that make up the first volume of this series, you'll find palaces of living fire, a "golden bridge of moonbeams," a ship that sails off the edge of the world, and a grudge match between immortals that ends with a supernova lighting up the sky...His marvels are seen mostly in glimpses, and the price of even a short look can be high: death, insanity, disensoulment, oblivion.

He has a way of getting in your head, and even if you don't develop a taste for him, you'll likely find some inspiration-horrible or wonderful-to carry away with you. -from the introduction by Matt Ruff

About the Author

Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890-1937), commonly known as H. P. Lovecraft, was an American author known for his works of horror fiction (many of which have been adapted into movies). Having died in obscure poverty, he achieved posthumous fame for his books and stories. Today, he is best known for his take on The Call of Cthulhu. Because of his influence on contemporary writers and the development of his unique style known as "Lovecraftian," he is often compared to Edgar Allan Poe.
