Hp Lovecraft - The Essential Horror of H P Lovecraft

The Essential Horror of H P Lovecraft\n \n The Short Horror Stories of HP Lovecraft\n \n By HP Lovecraft\n \n Howard Phillips Lovecraft (August 20, 1890 - March 15, 1937) was an American author who achieved posthumous fame through his influential works of horror fiction. Virtually unknown and only published in pulp magazines before he died in poverty, he is now regarded as one of the most significant 20th-century authors in his genre. Lovecraft was born in Providence, Rhode Island, where he spent most of his life. Among his most celebrated tales are "The Call of Cthulhu," canonical to the Cthulhu Mythos. Never able to support himself from earnings as author and editor, Lovecraft saw commercial success increasingly elude him in this latter period, partly because he lacked the confidence and drive to promote himself. He subsisted in progressively straitened circumstances in his last years; an inheritance was completely spent by the time he died at the age of 46.\n \n CONTENTS\n \n The Alchemist\n \n The Beast in the Cave\n \n Beyond the Wall of Sleep\n \n The Cats of Ulthar\n \n Celephais\n \n The Crawling Chaos\n \n Dagon\n \n The Doom That Came to Sarnath\n \n Ex Oblivione\n \n Facts Concerning the Late Arthur Jermyn and his Family\n \n Herbert West: Reanimator\n \n Hypnos\n \n The Lurking Fear\n \n Memory\n \n The Music of Eric Zann\n \n The Nameless City\n \n Nyarlathotep\n \n The Picture in the House\n \n Poetry and the Gods\n \n Polaris\n \n The Statement of Randolph Carter\n \n The Street\n \n The Terrible Old Man\n \n The Tomb\n \n The Tree\n \n What the Moon Brings\n \n The White Ship
