Publisher Description

Includes the short stories The Hound and The Festival

H. P. Lovecraft is considered to be one of the most influential horror and fantasy writers of the 20th century. His work is frequently compared to the likes of Edgar Allan Poe, and explored the idea that life is incomprehensible to human minds and that the universe is fundamentally alien.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity; and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

The Call of Cthulhu, written in 1926, is probably Lovecraft's best-known work. Discovering notes left by a deceased relative, the narrator pieces together the whole truth and disturbing significance of the Cthulhu cult. This release also contains the shorter tales The Festival and The Hound, in which gravediggers bring home more than they bargained for!

Gareth David-Lloyd has appeared the second series of the BBC sci-fi series Torchwood. Before playing Ianto Jones, Gareth trained at the National Youth Theatre, and his credits include the role of Sebastian in Twelfth Night as well as television appearances in Mine All Mine, Absolute Power, and Rosemary & Thyme. Veteran actor Ian Fairbairn is best known for his appearances in Timeslip as Alpha 4 and Dr. Frazer, while also starring in four classic Doctor Who stories. Other credits include: Stand up Nigel Barton, Emergency Ward 10, and The Professionals.

"When I was introduced to HP Lovecraft, I realized how intense a story can become in just a few words. Lovecraft is indeed an artist at using prose to create eerie images and simple ideas become creatively creepy and intensely deep. I loved reading his stories. Some of my favorites are but five pages long. I wish I could remember the name of the one I love the most, but it's images still haunt my mind at times when I am sitting alone thinking."

    " Ah, Lovecraft. Truly there are only a handful of writers dead or alive to match your talent, your impeccable voice. Only you could spin tales of such ghastly creeping nature in the most lovely aching tone. Not for the fainthearted, the words may get away from you have a dictionary handy! "

    " The Call of Cthulu and one or two of the other stories were decent, but most of the rest were pretty lackluster, and all read pretty much the same. If you're looking for a surprising ending, don't get your hopes up. "

  • Overall Performance: 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5

    " No other writer can inject such a thick air of nightmarish uneasiness into his stories like Lovecraft. The stories are all equally as original and creative as they are terrifying. Highly recommended for someone who needs a little OOMPH in whatever they're reading. "

    " This is typically Lovecraft - what it doesn't tell you is just about as bad as what it does. I'd recommend this to anyoen who likes Stephen King, or anything else by Lovecraft. "

About H. P. Lovecraft

H. P. Lovecraft (1890–1937) 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 twentieth-century authors in his genre. He was born in Providence, Rhode Island, where he lived most of his life. His relatively small corpus of work consists of three short novels and about sixty short stories.
