Synopsis

The Reanimator series broke the mold on Lovecraft’s writings – becoming one of the earliest serial stories written by Lovecraft, one of the earliest fiction mentions of zombies, and the inspiration for the 1980’s cult classic film. Reanimator follows Herbert west on his mission to fulfil his theory – that the human body can be restarted after death. The series follows through many close misses, zombies, and demon summoning as West tries unsuccessfully to reanimate bodies. Ending with catacombs and, as you might guess, catastrophes – Herbert West: Reanimator is one of Lovecraft’s most beloved and gripping series.

Starting with little animals and guinea-pigs he soon turns to human beings. The corpses have to be fresh. Dr West is also working at the front of WW 1. Wh......more

Goodreads review by Althea on September 23, 2015

Although presented here as one story, this is actually a series of six linked stories about the mad scientist, Dr. Herbert West. More than anything else by Lovecraft, these feel like true pulp fiction, written for pure shocking entertainment, with a dashed-off, distinctly "non-literary" feel. Origin......more

Goodreads review by Coos on December 25, 2015

Esta es, por lejos, una de las historias que más me perturbaron en la vida. Literalmente tuve que apartar el plato de comida durante el almuerzo porque no podía continuar con el mismo mientras leía semejantes asquerosidades. Es sencillamente magnífico, y me da gusto saber que aún sigue causándome la......more
