Lovecraft's most famous and most terrifying novel is collected here with two of his novellas, The Shadow Over Innsmouth and The Thing on the Doorstep, to provide a shocking introduction to the world of Lovecraft's imagination. Set in the Cthulhu mythos, these stories are classics of the gothic tradition. From the investigation of the City of the Old Ones on the Antarctic plateau to the everyday horror to be found in the small New England town of Innsmouth, Lovecraft evokes terror in a way that no other writer can rival.
