Publisher Description
“H.P. Lovecraft has yet to be surpassed as the twentieth century’s greatest practitioner of the classic horror tale.”—Stephen King
“The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.”—H.P. Lovecraft
This is the collection that true fans of horror fiction must have: sixteen of H.P. Lovecraft’s most horrifying visions, including:
The Call of Cthulu: The first story in the infamous Cthulhu mythos—a creature spawned in the stars brings a menace of unimaginable evil to threaten all mankind.
The Dunwich Horror: An evil man’s desire to perform an unspeakable ritual leads him in search of the fabled text of The Necronomicon.
The Colour Out of Space: A horror from the skies—far worse than any nuclear fallout—transforms a man into a monster.
The Shadow Over Innsmouth: Rising from the depths of the sea, an unspeakable horror engulfs a quiet New England town.
Plus twelve more terrifying tales!

The Best of H.P. Lovecraft
I own this book in paperback, too. It's a marvelous collection and I'm delighted that it now fits in my pocket! This was my first Lovecraft collection and everything I've been wanting to read is right here. Don't be frightened by the price - leave that to the stories.
Great Collection
There have been a number of collections of Lovecraft's works. This one is the best of the "Best of..." kinds out there. A lot of the classic works of this master of the weird that helped redefine the horror genre. Included are all the key stories of the Cthulhu Mythos.
