Lovecraft offers an exciting investigation of this significant writer's works and influence. In the collection a range of noted scholars, novelists and writers, take a multidisciplinary approach, exploring Lovecraft's life, his most beloved stories and his continuing presence in popular culture. Their work provides the first scholarly study of its kind, creating a book that is enlightening for both academics and fans of a figure that Stephen King called "the twentieth century's greatest practitioner of the classic horror tale.""-- |
