| Summary |
Twenty-two tales that demonstrate Lovecraft's ability to blur the distinction between reality and nightmare, sanity and madness, the human and the non-human; his fascination and revulsion for New York city and his own nightmarish mythology in which encounters with ancient, pitiless extraterrestrial intelligences wreak havoc on hapless humans. From old New England towns haunted by occult pasts to Antarctic wastes that disclose apalling secrets. |
