Critics Review
“H.P. Lovecraft has yet to be surpassed as the twentieth century’s greatest practitioner of the classic horror tale.”–Stephen King
“H.P. Lovecraft has yet to be surpassed as the twentieth century’s greatest practitioner of the classic horror tale.” - Stephen King

“This attractive volume offers a fine chance to sample Lovecraft’s ghoulish pleasures.” - Kirkus Reviews
