The Best of H. P. Lovecraft Kindle Edition

by H. P. Lovecraft (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.1 out of 5 stars 30 ratings
Six timeless stories of supernatural terror and macabre imagination by “the 20th century’s greatest practitioner of the classic horror tale” (Stephen King).
 
H. P. Lovecraft’s unique literary vision has influenced generations of authors whose work comprises its own subgenre: Lovecraftian horror. His legacy can be seen everywhere, from the HBO drama series Lovecraft Country to the enduring Cthulhu Mythos—a fictional universe first developed by Lovecraft in several of the stories included here.
 
An essential collection for any horror fan, this volume presents some of Lovecraft’s finest short fiction, including “The Call of Cthuhlu,” “The Dunwich Horror,” and “The Shadow Over Innsmouth,” among others.

"One of the 20th century's most original writers." —Arthur C. Clarke

About the Author

H. P. Lovecraft (1890–1937) has been hailed as one of the most important and influential authors of supernatural fiction of the 20th century. A life-long resident of Providence, Rhode Island, Lovecraft's tales are often set in the fear-haunted towns of an imaginary area of Massachusetts or in the cosmic vistas that exist beyond space and time. Since his untimely death, he has been acknowledged as an American master of fantasy fiction, second only to Edgar Allan Poe.

H. P. Lovecraft was born in 1890 in Providence, Rhode Island, where he lived most of his life. He wrote many essays and poems early in his career, but gradually focused on the writing of horror stories, after the advent in 1923 of the pulp magazine Weird Tales, to which he contributed most of his fiction. His relatively small corpus of fiction--three short novels and about sixty short stories--has nevertheless exercised a wide influence on subsequent work in the field, and he is regarded as the leading twentieth-century American author of supernatural fiction. H. P. Lovecraft died in Providence in 1937.

    Great stories of suspense and mystery. Reminds me of the twilight zone or Albert Hitchcock stories.

    Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2022

    While this e-book contains a few acknowledged classics, such as "The Music of Erich Zann," and a couple of my favorites, it is overpopulated with fragments and vignettes taken from letters. It's an enjoyable book and presents some obscure writings and underappreciated gems, but this collection is definitely not the best of Lovecraft. Were it not for the hubristic claim of the title, I would have certainly rated it higher. Usually I would rate a book solely on its content and execution, but when publishers present a claim to customers, they must be held accountable for how well they fulfill that vlaim.
