Special, collectable hardcover edition for Ramsey Campbell's 60 years in publication.

H.P. Lovecraft, the inventor of cosmic horror, weird fiction and the Cthulhu mythology, inspired a generation of writers to explore the horrors that lurk along the corridors, at the edges of perception. This special collectable edition of Lovecraft's short stories features a new introduction by Ramsey Campbell along with one of his own tales.

The Ramsey Campbell Special Editions. Campbell is the greatest inheritor of a tradition that reaches back through H.P. Lovecraft and M.R. James to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and the early Gothic writers. The dark, masterful work of the painter Henry Fuseli, a friend of Mary Wollstonecraft, is used on these special editions to invoke early literary investigations into the supernatural.

About The Author

H.P. Lovecraft was a master of horror and gothic fiction, influencing a generation of writers and creating dark worlds that still haunt the speculative fiction of today. In his early years Lovecraft corresponded with amateur writers and editors, wrote essays, poetry and reviews for amateur magazines. In the 1920s he began to sell to the popular pulp magazines of the day, like Weird Tales and Astonishing Tales.

Raves and Reviews

“One of the century’s great literary exponents of the gothic and horrific”

"Ramsey Campbell has already left nearly every other weird writer, past or present, in the dust; and this new novel only cements the lofty reputation he has achieved through a lifetime of stellar work."

– S.T. Joshi in DEAD RECKONINGS

“He is unsurpassed in the subtle manipulation of mood... You forget you’re just reading a story”

“He writes of our deepest fears in a precise, clear prose that somehow manages to be beautiful and terrifying at the same time. He is a powerful, original writer, and you owe it to yourself to make his acquaintance”

“The undisputed master of the psychological horror novel”
