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.

Goodreads review by Carly

Eldritch Tales: A micellany of the Macabre H.P. Lovecraft was a fascinating poet and writer of the 1920's. He was also a big fan of Edgar Allan Poe, which is obvious in some of his work, that it was influenced by Poe. I can also say that I am a big fan of Edgar Allan Poe as well. In the supernatural......more

Goodreads review by Irena

If the Eldritch Tales were the first Lovecraft book you picked up, you may have ended up really disappointed. It really is a "miscellany" of his stories, the leftovers that aren't to be neglected but aren't as good as the ones in Necronomicon. While I can recommend a bunch must-reads from N., there......more
