The Dark Worlds of H. P. Lovecraft, Volume 6

Howard Phillips Lovecraft, has been hailed by literary critics as the inventor of modern horror, and a cultivating force behind such modern writers as Robert Bloch ( Psycho ), Wes Craven ( Nightmare on Elm Street ) and Stephen King ( Pet Semetary ), just to name a few. His fame rests largely on his Cthulhu Mythos stories, referring to a "race who, in practicing black magic, lost their foothold and were expelled, yet live on outside ever ready to take possession of this earth again." Volume 3 includes "The Horror at Red Hook," "Herbert West: Re-animator," "The Outsider," and "The Statement of Randolph Carter."
