by H. P. Lovecraft (Author)
This Edition of Tales of Horror exalts 3 of the best horror stories of the master of terror H. P. Lovecraft. "The Dunwich Horror" is considered one of the core stories of the Cthulhu Mythos. "The Dunwich Horror" is one of the few tales Lovecraft wrote wherein the heroes successfully defeat the antagonistic entity or monster of the story. In "The Shunned House", the protagonist and his uncle, Dr. Elihu Whipple, have nurtured a fascination with an old, abandoned house on Benefit Street. Dr. Whipple has made extensive records tracking the mysterious, yet apparently coincidental sickness and death of many who have lived in the house for over one hundred years. In the iconic "The Call of Cthulhu", Lovecraft reaches into the cosmos, bridging the divide between horror and science fiction. The extra-terrestrial 'gods' and cursed histories that would emerge from these stories now form the cornerstones of Lovecraft's unique mythology
