Too often overlooked study of literary horror
Many other Lovecraft aficiandos I'm acquainted with mention this book in sort of embarrassed, humorous tones. It is, they say, H.P. Lovecraft's purely subjective enthusiasms for certain writers and nothing more. But this study is far more than a novelty, or an interesting peek into the mind of an exceedingly strange man. If anyone ever did, H.P. Lovecraft knew horror from the inside out; and ...

The Dark Worlds Of H. P. Lovecraft Volume 4 (The Dark Worlds of H. P. Lovecraft)
Howard Phillips Lovecraft

Audio Realms, 2006

Rats in the Walls After its complete restoration, the narrator of this tale moves into his ancestral family home. Soon afterward, however, he begins to hear noises in the walls. Suspecting rats, he sets out traps but finds these vermin are not the kind so easily dispatched. One of the all-time creepiest of Lovecraft?s tales. The Shunned House In the city of Providence stands an antique home of which everyone whispers. Never called ...

Del Rey, 1986

Real Horror for Real Lovers of the Occult Horror genre
Three words can describe this book: tongue in cheek. One of the best written works of horror fiction that any author can ever write about! Only Lovecraft fully knows the potential of using the occult in the work of fiction! This book is a must along with the other books that Ballantine has compiled for Lovecraft! It is also a must for those interested in using Lovecraft's fiction for their ...

Dell, 1997

Worth it for every Lovecraft fan
Most reviewers have focused (understandably) on the annotations. However, this book is worth the price for the biographical introduction alone. I've been reading and rereading Lovecraft for probably 20 years, but those few pages gave me some important new insights into Lovecraft's perspective that made me anxious to read them again in a new light. The annotations, review of movies, and other ...

Price introduces the whole and each entry in The Xothic Legend with his quite considerable and thorough literary, religious and Lovecraftian erudition and iconoclastic wit. Lin Carter's take on the Mythos in his Xothic ...

The Shadow Over Innsmouth & Dagon
Howard Phillips Lovecraft

Audio Realms, 2005

The Shadow Over Innsmouth Once a normal sea town, now Innsmouth is home to a strange hybrid race--half-human, half-fish. Worshipers of Dagon, the townsfolk are preparing to welcome their god to Earth, at least that?s the conclusion of a secret government investigation. One of the finest stories by H.P. Lovecraft, recognized the world over as one of the greatest horror stories ever written, this is the tale of a lonely piece of New England real ...

Fifteen of August Derleth's less inspired Mythos tales
It is most unfortunate and wrong in more ways than one that this collection of stories is passed off as the work of H.P. Lovecraft. All of these stories were written by August Derleth, who was inspired by various little notes Lovecraft left behind, but the only indication of the true ownership of the tales comes in the list of sources from which these stories were assembled, a section quite easy ...

A Happy Concept!
Strange that it took so long for someone to think of this. Lovecraft was one of history's great letter-writers, and many of his letters contain autobiographical details, so why not gather those all together? Well, here they are, 343 pages of letters, Lovecraft's autobiographical sketch SOME NOTES ON A NONENTITY, and some explanatory notes. The letters don't really form a coherent autobiography, ...

The Dunwich Horror & Call Of Cthulhu
Howard Phillips Lovecraft

Audio Realms, 2005

The Call of Cthulhu This is the big one, the story that started it all! In "The Call of Cthulhu" the narrator, executor to a rather bizarre and eclectic estate, pieces together the terrible truth contained within the information he possesses. Contains both his supernatural detective, Inspector Legrasse, and possibly his most famous first line: "The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all ...

An excellent resource for Lovecraft's eldritch work...

An excellent horror story
Jervas Dudley was always a strange lad, a dreamer and a visionary. But, when he takes to sleeping in an old abandoned tomb, his dreams begin to take on a weird and frightening tone. This is another great Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890-1937) book. It was originally published in 1922 in The Vagrant, and is an excellent horror story. So, if you like a good horror story, then you should get this ...

The necronomicon
I have been a student of the five elements and ninjutsu since I was nineteen. I studied anything that revolved to the rising, or ARRA star. I encountered the Necronomicon when I was 25, and Heaven and Earth shook inside of me. I am not saying that it is true to the last detail, but I must admit that the conjuration of the Fire God was legitimate. I even went as far as to summmon Zaghurim. ...
