The Writings of H.P. Lovecraft: Volume I Edited by John Wombat & Ruth Moreira Cover artwork by Ian Miller Born in Providence, Rhode Island, U.S.A, on August 20, 1890, Howard Phillips Lovecraft was a master craftsman of the weird tale. One of the finest pensmiths from pulp’s golden age, the writer’s creeping tales of terror blend mounting tension and suspense with cosmic horror. With his standout works including The Rats in the Walls, The Call of Cthulhu, Pickman’s Model, The Colour Out of Space, The Dunwich Horror, At the Mountains of Madness, and The Shadow over Innsmouth, to name but a few, H.P. Lovecraft is one of the most important and influential horror writers of all time. Complete with cover artwork by Ian Miller, the first in a special series of books which champions the chief architect of weird fiction and cosmic horror, covering 1916 – 1921, The Writings of H.P. Lovecraft: Volume I concentrates on Lovecraft’s earlier works, as it brings together thirty of his poems, one of his essays, one of his letters, and fifteen of his short stories.
