The Call of Cthulhu and other Weird Stories

Frequently imitated and widely influential, H.W.Lovecraft reinvented the horror genre in the twentieth century, discarding ghosts and witches and envisioning instead mankind as a tiny outpost of dwindling sanity in a chaotic and malevolent universe. Lovecraft´s preeminent interpreter S.T.Joshi presents a selection of the master´s fiction, from the early tales of nightmares and madness such as "The Outsider" and "Rats in the Walls" to the overshadowing cosmic terror of "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" and "The Call of Cthulhu"
