The lurking fear & other stories

Lovecraft, H. P. (Howard Phillips), 1890-19372013
Books, Manuscripts
Only H.P. Lovecraft could conceive the spine-tingling horrors you will find within this unique collection. As well as such classics as 'The Picture in the House', 'The Music of Erich Zann' and 'The Rats in the Walls', there are some fascinating rarities. `The thing came abruptly and unannounced; a demon, rat-like, scurrying from pits remote and unimaginable, a hellish panting and stifled grunting, and then from that opening beneath the chimney a burst of multitudinous and leprous life - a loathsome night-spawned flood of organic corruption more devastatingly hideous than the blackest conjurations of mortal madness and morbidity.' Only the expansive imagination of H.P. Lovecraft could conceive the delicious and spine-tingling horrors you will find within the pages of this unique collection. In addition to such classics as The Picture in the House, The Music of Erich Zann and The Rats in the Walls, this volume contains some fascinating rarities: examples of Lovecraft's earliest weird fiction and material unpublished during his lifetime. H.P. Lovecraft's creation of the Cthulhu Mythos has influenced many modern authors, and still remains at the forefront of supernatural literature.
