Publisher Description
Howard Phillips Lovecraft is among the greatest American writers of fantasy and the supernatural. Born in 1890, a native of Providence, Rhode Island, Lovecraft's questionable health throughout childhood caused his mother to shelter him early in life. His semi-invalidism enabled him to read voraciously, and as a shy, imaginative child, he began to invent what in his adult life would become a macabre, esoteric world of his own. Tall, thin, and pale, but with bright alert eyes, he was given to wandering his native city in the dark hours of the night, and he became a devoted student of its antiquities and myths.
Volume 1 of Lovecraft's creepy tales comprises The Lurking Fear, a short story of a man's investigation into a deadly horror surrounding the haunted Martense mansion, and The Thing on the Doorstep, a story of "not quite human" beings and abducted bodies.
