Sinopsis

In "The Complete Lovecraft Fiction," H. P. Lovecraft's oeuvre emerges as a seminal exploration of cosmic horror and the boundaries of human understanding. This comprehensive collection assembles his stories, ranging from the sublime "The Call of Cthulhu" to the profound existential terrors of "At the Mountains of Madness." Lovecraft's distinctive prose style blends archaic language with dense, atmospheric descriptions, immersing readers in unsettling worlds where the very fabric of reality is challenged. His writings reflect a literary context steeped in early 20th-century anxieties about science, philosophy, and the unknown, rendering his contribution to weird fiction unparalleled and profoundly resonant. Lovecraft, an influential yet often marginalized figure, was profoundly shaped by his tumultuous upbringing in Providence, Rhode Island. His fascination with the occult, mythology, and the limitations of human perception coalesced into a body of work that delves deep into existential dread. Lovecraft's experiences with mental illness and societal alienation further informed his narratives, which frequently feature protagonists confronted by unfathomable forces far beyond their comprehension. This indispensable collection is highly recommended for scholars and enthusiasts of horror literature alike, offering a gateway into Lovecraft's intricate mythos. Readers will find themselves captivated by the chilling atmospheres and philosophical depth of his stories, making this collection an essential addition to any literary library.

Dagon

H. P. Lovecraft

"I am writing this under an appreciable mental strain, since by tonight I shall be no more."
H.P. Lovecraft's short story Dagon (1917) introduces several elements of the "Cthulu Mythos", which was to become a significant feature of his writing and was widely influential among other authors of science-fiction, fantasy and horror. It tells the story of a tortured, morphine-addicted man who relates an incident that occurred during his service as an officer during World War I. After his cargo ship is attacked by a German raider, the narrator escapes in a lifeboat, drifting for days until he wakes to find himself stranded on a strange, sun-scorched island covered in putrid, decaying fish and strange scupltures and monoliths—and stranger, nightmarish creatures…

Though virtually unknown and financially unsuccessful during his lifetime, H.P. Lovecraft (1890-1937) is now regarded as one of the most influential 20th-century writers of supernatural horror fiction. Widely credited with inventing the "cosmic horror" genre—fiction that explores humanity's insignificance in the face of vast, unknowable cosmic forces—he also created the "Cthulhu Mythos", a shared universe of ancient alien beings and forbidden knowledge that has influenced generations of horror and science fiction writers.

Still So Strange

Amanda Downum

MONSTROUS BARGAINS AND BALLADS 
 
Drawing heavily on Lovecraftiana and myth, these are tales of devil’s bargains, love songs to monsters, and the people?human and otherwise?who inhabit liminal spaces. Ghosts, gods, and ghouls make their way as best they can, one step  
sideways from the mortals around them. Many are connected; some are puzzle pieces that don’t quite fit. Spanning a decade of writing, Still So Strange is Amanda Downum's first collection of short fiction, and includes stories originally released  
in Strange Horizons, Realms of Fantasy, and Weird Tales, as well as original, unpublished work.
