By H.P. Lovecraft
From the Back Cover
Joyce Carol Oates, Stephen King, and other experts on horror fiction deem H.P. Lovecraft the
master teller of weird tales. These six chilling stories—all published between 1921 and
1933—offer compelling journeys into the land of the undead.
The collection begins with “The Outsider,” the tale of a recluse whose overwhelming
loneliness emboldens him to seek out human contact. Subsequent stories include “Herbert
West—Reanimator,” written as a satire of Frankenstein and used as the source for a
popular horror film; “In the Vault,” in which an undertaker experiences supernatural
revenge; “Cool Air,” an account of a doctor’s fanatical obsession with defying
death; and “Pickman’s Model,” focusing on an artist’s gallery of
nightmares. “The Thing on the Doorstep” concludes the compilation with the compelling
tale of a man whose body is preyed upon by a spirit that refuses to die.
