Summary: Required reading for the horror fan
Review: Everybody calls Lovecraft a legend, a master of the horror tale, and it isn't hype. His works have influenced so many writers of today - from Stephen King, Poppy Z. Brite, Caitlin Kiernan,Mark Danielewski, and Neil Gaiman, to name a very few. This book contains the short story "Re-animator" was based on, as well. This is a great collection - pick it up and be prepared to be completely impressed.
