This complete collection of weird fiction by HP Lovecraft about humanity up against forces beyond our control and knowledge are compiled here. As far as I know, it's all in chronological order. I find that a lot of these tales are quite original and, though it has inspired a lot of horror fiction that we know, some of these stories remain unparalleled.

Lovecraft's prejudices are quite clear in a lot of these stories and I wouldn't condone them. I also thought that there weren't any memorable human characters here but a lot of the baddies we read about here are some of the most memorable and creepy. Overall, I enjoyed getting my pants scared off with this book, the discrimination made me feel uncomfortable at times, but these are definitely landmarks of horror fiction for a reason.
