Summary

H.P. Lovecraft invites you inside his haunted imagination, where ancient horrors stir just beyond the veil of sanity. Face unfathomable cosmic dread across crumbling New England attics and sun-baked deserts. Confront colossal entities beyond the stars and monstrous creatures beyond description. Turn the page, if you dare.
 
Uncover secrets that gnaw at the sanity of a family haunted by their ancestral home in The Rats in the Walls. Witness life wither under the touch of an alien entity in The Colour Out of Space. Take the plunge into maddening revelation and existential horror. But remember, once you cross Lovecraft's threshold, there is no turning back.
 
This expanded edition features compelling illustrations that bring the monstrous entities to life. Accompanying guides delve deeper into the twisted genius of Lovecraft's prose, uncovering hidden meanings that blur the lines between dreams and reality. Both thrilling reads and deeper explorations await within these forbidden pages.

    First published in 1895, Lost Hearts is a classic paranormal tale written by M.R. James, an author considered to be the originator of the modern age ghost story. Though popular in written form, his stories were in fact designed to be read out loud - something he would do every Christmas in his role as housemaster to young boys boarding at Eton school. In this particular story we meet Stephen Elliott, a young orphan boy who is sent to stay with his much older cousin, Mr Abney, at a remote country mansion. His cousin is a reclusive alchemist, obsessed with making himself immortal. Stephen is repeatedly troubled by visions of a young gypsy girl and a travelling Italian boy, but what could they be trying to tell him?
