The New Annotated H. P. Lovecraft

"Howard Phillips Lovecraft is beginning to emerge as one of that tumultuous periods most critically fascinating and yet enigmatic figures", writes Alan Moore. But at the time of his death, Lovecraft was maligned by critics and ignored by the public. Leslie S. Klinger reanimates Lovecraft and charts the rise of the pulp writer. Lovecrafts vast body of worka mythos in which humanity is a blissfully unaware speck in a cosmos shared by ancient alien beingsis increasingly being recognised as the foundation for American horror and science fiction. With nearly 300 illustrations and more than 1,000 annotations, Klinger illuminates every hidden dimension of 22 of Lovecrafts most canonical works.
