A definitive edition of stories by the master of supernatural fiction
Howard Phillips Lovecraft's unique contribution to American literature was a
melding of traditional supernaturalism (derived chiefly from Edgar Allan Poe)
with the genre of science fiction that emerged in the early 1920s. This Penguin
Classics edition brings together a dozen of the master's tales-from his early
short stories "Under the Pyramids" (originally ghostwritten for Harry Houdini)
and "The Music of Erich Zann" (which Lovecraft ranked second among his own
favorites) through his more fully developed works, "The Dunwich Horror," The
Case of Charles Dexter Ward, and At the Mountains of Madness .
The Thing on the Doorstep and Other Weird Stories presents the definitive
corrected texts of these works, along with Lovecraft critic and biographer S. T.
Joshi's illuminating introduction and notes to each story.
For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic
literature ...
