"A fantastic anthology by the true master of horror fiction. Highly recommended." — Book Nutter’s Book Reviews "This is an excellent collection of Lovecraft’s ‘zombie’ stories, which serves both as a treat to old fans and a sampler to people who haven’t read Lovecraft before. I would highly recommend this collection." — Of Stacks and Cups Joyce Carol Oates, Stephen King, and other experts on horror fiction deem H. P. Lovecraft the master teller of weird tales. These six chilling stories ― all published between 1921 and 1933 ― offer compelling journeys into the land of the undead. The collection begins with "The Outsider, " the tale of a recluse whose overwhelming loneliness emboldens him to seek out human contact. Subsequent stories include "Herbert West―Reanimator, " written as a satire of Frankenstein and used as the source for a popular horror film; "In the Vault, " in which an undertaker experiences supernatural revenge; "Cool Air, " an account of a doctor’s fanatical obsession with defying death; and "Pickman’s Model, " focusing on an artist’s gallery of nightmares. "The Thing on the Doorstep" concludes the compilation with the compelling tale of a man whose body is preyed upon by a spirit that refuses to die. "Highly recommended. A great way to re-animate Lovecraft’s standing as a master of the horror genre." —Looking for a Good Book"A delightfully horrific collection of tales that will thrill any horror fan!" — A Universe in Words
