"It's Lovecraft. Expect to be impressed, creeped out and entertained, but don't get your hopes up that there will be many happy endings. The Houdini story was great and the title story is one of my all time favorite Lovecraft stories. " — Travis (4 out of 5 stars)

" I loved it, it is one of several Arkham house Hardcover i have bought "
" Wow, how could one man invent such madness, he must have been deeply disturbed, though he sure could write awesome horror. These short stories in particular are wonderfully dark,definitely the stuff of nightmares, enjoy ! "
" An excellent read from the godfather of the macabre. The Dunwich Horror is a great introduction for newcomers to the world of H.P. Lovecraft and a classic for those who are already fans of his work. "
" I liked The Dunwich Horror better than The Call of Cthulhu. The story seemed more involved and it was more of a story that I felt curious to see what happened next. So I'm glad I gave Lovecraft another try. But I don't plan to have others on my list. "
" Esa manía periodística de Lovecraft de asustar con algo tan real como gringos Red-Necks locos que enseñan magia negra y misticismo a sus racistas hijos mitad pulpo... Una delicia. "
" Good stories in a fine editon "
" I went through a Lovecraft/Bradbury phase one summer as an early teen. This was probably my favorite of the Lovecraft collections. A verbivore's writer! "
" I made the mistake of reading this late at night. Needless to say I didn't sleep that night. "
" I guess I hadn't reviewed this volume, but it's a fine collection of some of H.P.'s best. Still a joy to revisit... "
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.
