'They were removing the stones quietly, one by one, from the centuried wall. And then, as the breach became large enough, they came out into the laboratory in single file; led by a stalking thing with a beautiful head made of wax.'
From the dark, mind-expanding imagination of H P Lovecraft, Wordsworth presents a third volume of tales penned by the greatest horror writer of the 20th Century.
Here are some of Lovecraft's weirdest flesh-creeping masterpieces, including 'Pickman's Model', 'The Shunned House', his famous serial 'Herbert West Reanimator', and several classic tales from the Cthulhu Mythos, in which mankind is subjected to the unimaginable terrors known only to those who have read from the forbidden 'Necronomicon'.
Also included in this compelling collection are the complete Randolph Carter stories, chronicling his adventures in this world and the realm of his dreams, where he faces perils beyond comprehension.
AUTHOR: H. P. Lovecraft (1890 - 1937) is widely considered the twentieth century's most important writer of supernatural horror fiction. Forging a unique niche within the horror genre, he created what became known as ""weird tales,"" stories containing a distinctive blend of dreamlike imagery, Gothic terror, and elaborate concocted mythology."
