Eight Tales of Cosmic Horror - The Call of Cthulhu At the Mountains of Madness and Other Stories

H. P. Lovecraft

Summary

Eight tales from the writer who replaced the ghost with the indifference of the universe: the thing in the Dunwich hills, the call of Cthulhu, a colour that falls from the sky and drains a farm, the shadow over Innsmouth, and the expedition that finds a city in Antarctica older than mankind, and the young man who raises his ancestor from the dust of Providence. Lovecraft published in pulp magazines for a cent a word and died poor at forty-six. A hundred plates spanning 1783 to 1910, from Goya's royal portraits to Redon's dream-haunted visions, trace the uncanny and the cosmic that Lovecraft made his own.
