Eldritch Tales: A Miscellany of the Macabre

Synopsis

Following the phenomenal success of Necronomicon, its companion volume brings together Lovecrafts remaining major stories plus his weird poetry, a number of obscure revisions, and some notable nonfiction, including the seminal critical essay Supernatural Horror in Literature. Gathering together in chronological order the rest of Lovecrafts rarely seen but extraordinary short fiction, this collection includes the entirety of the long-out-of-print collection of thirty-six sonnets Fungi from Yuggoth. Lovecraft died at the age of forty-seven, but in his short life he turned out dozens of stories that changed the face of horror. His extraordinary imagination spawned both the Elder God Cthulhu and his eldritch cohorts, as well as the strangely compelling town of Innsmouth, all of which feature here.
