By H. P. Lovecraft and Others
Introduction by Stephen Jones

Back Cover Text

“Lovecraft’s fiction is one of the cornerstones of modern horror.”
—Clive Barker
Some tales in this collection were inspired by H.P. Lovecraft, others he revised, two he co-authored—but all bear the mark of the master of primordial terror.

• The Horror in the Museum   Locked in for the night, a man will discover the difference between waxen grotesqueries and the real thing.
• The Electric Executioner   Aboard a train, a traveler must match wits with a murderous madman.
• The Trap   This mirror wants a great deal more than your reflection.
• The Ghost-Eater   In an ancient woodland, the past comes to life with a bone-crunching vengeance.
