Every tale in this engrossing collection bears the unmistakable mark of the genius who inspired it--the creator of the Cthulhu Mythos, H.P. Lovecraft. nH. P. Lovecraft has yet to be surpassed as the twentieth centurys greatest practitioner of the classic horror tale.--Stephen King n n Some tales in this collection were inspired by H. P. Lovecraft, others he revised, two he co-authored-but all bear the mark of the master of primordial terror. n The Horror in the Museum: Locked up for the night, a man will discover the difference between waxen grotesqueries and the real thing. n n The Electric Executioner: Aboard a train, a traveler must match wits with a murderous madman. n n The Trap: This mirror wants a great deal more than your reflection. n n The Ghost-Eater: In an ancient woodland, the past comes to life with a bone-crunching vengeance. n n And twenty more stories of unspeakable evil! n nLovecrafts fiction is one of the cornerstones of modern horror.--Clive Barkern
