Publisher Description
Step into the chilling world of H. P. Lovecraft’s The Colour Out of Space, a landmark tale of cosmic horror and science fiction. When a strange meteorite crashes onto Nahum Gardner’s farm, it unleashes a terrifying force beyond human comprehension—an indescribable “colour” that poisons the land, warps nature, and drives the Gardner family into despair and madness. Blending eerie atmosphere, rural isolation, and the unknown terror of extraterrestrial presence, this story stands as one of Lovecraft’s most haunting masterpieces. Perfect for fans of gothic horror, weird fiction, and unsettling science fiction, this timeless classic explores humanity’s fragility in the face of forces far greater than itself.

"This collection of short stories is really amazing and incredibly frightening. I've never read anything as scary as the first story. I almost didnt sleep at night because of it. Full of description of frightening grotesque elements that are unknown to humans. This is a very recommended read for people who love the horror genre, though there is one thing that I didnt like in the story which is the repetition, Lovecraft repeats a lot of his words, so this kind of lets you think less of his writing. It bothered me:/"

" I don't know what it was, but I just couldn't get into this. There were some beautiful images created, but I really just couldn't get into it. Sorry Lovecraft lovers. "

" Lovecraft is the master "
— Emme, 12/13/2013 -
" As all Lovecraftian books, there's a mystery that does caught your attention, and wakes up your imagination as you don't know what it is exactly. Is a very good short story. "
— Carlos, 11/15/2013 -
" Lovecraft may not write the best dialogue, but he's one of the best at creating a bleak and terrifying page-turner. The three stories in this volume are all good examples. "
— Ryan, 10/29/2013 -
" Wondrously spooky and certainly a fitting night-time read. H.P. Lovecraft is truly awesome at arousing suspense and terror (and I'm feeling somewhat anxious about falling asleep)! A nice wee collection of stories; will definitely read again. "
— Claudia, 10/21/2013 -
" I cannot recall even one story of this book, so you can imagine it did not make an impression. "
— Suellen, 10/6/2013 -
" Como especialista de la imagen, no hay nada mas aterrador que te digan que exsiste... Un color que noe s ningun color conocido. Simplemente eso es aterrador "
— Chucho, 7/31/2013 -
" A great tale. I remember reading somewhere that it was part of Stephen King's inspiration for Tommyknockers. I had to laugh as I read the passage of carefully constructed dialogue, short bursts of words separated by ellipses, that was an example of bad dialog in Stephen King's book On Writing. "
— Chuck, 7/30/2013 -
" Like all of Lovecraft's stories, this one rambled a bit, but eventually got to the crux of the matter, just in time for the story to end, thankfully..... "
— Chris, 4/21/2013 -
" Lovecraft's writing reads like ESL individuals, who tend to sound formal and oddly poetic. "
— Dana, 1/19/2013 -
" Una de las tantas supremas narraciones del maestro del terror cosmico H.P. Lovecraft. La historia se centra en una fuerza desconocida espacial que engulle todo a su paso, dejando un color plateado anunciando una muerte imparable! Altamente recomendada para los amantes del genero de horror. "
— VH.G.P., 12/18/2012 -
" My first Lovecraft stories. I need some more. Perfect. "
— Matija, 7/16/2012 -
" Better than the others, strangely enough. I could see it being turned into a pretty creepy movie. It doesn't shy away from description like other lovecraft and I think it benefits. "
— Dave, 12/21/2011 -
" This is one of Lovecraft's better books. The plot is very unique and the imagery he weaves regarding the deteriorating landscape is exceptional. "
— Andrew, 10/27/2011 -
" Entre los relatos que contiene está "Herbert West, reanimador." una de mis favoritas historias cortas del autor. "

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.
