Beschreibung:
In this volume, Leslie S. Klinger reanimates Lovecraft with clarity and historical insight, charting the rise of the erstwhile pulp writer, whose rediscovery and reclamation into the literary canon can be compared only to that of Poe or Melville. Klinger collects here twenty-two of Lovecraft's best, most chilling 'Arkham' tales, including 'The Call of Cthulhu,' At the Mountains of Madness, 'The Whisperer in Darkness,' 'The Shadow Over Innsmouth,' 'The Colour Out of Space,' and others. With nearly 300 illustrations, including full-color reproductions of the original artwork and covers from Weird Tales and Astounding Stories, and more than 1,000 annotations, this volume illuminates every dimension of H. P. Lovecraft and stirs the Great Old Ones in their millennia of sleep.
