Wholesale Lovecraft's Legacy - Paperback

by Robert E. Weinberg (Editor), Martin Harry Greenberg (Editor), Robert Bloch (Introduction by) H.P. Lovecraft is one of the most influential modern horror writers. Lovecraft's fiction is a category unto itself. Eschewing the traditional werewolves, vampires, and ghosts of most horror fiction, he wrote of dread Elder Gods and cosmic, earth-shattering horrors. Lovecraft mined rich veins of terror uniquely his own, and wherever in the known and unknown universe his imagination sped, readers followed--fascinated, enrapt, and terrified by the scope of his dark vision. More than fifty years after his death, Lovecraft's fiction continues to influence each new generation of horror readers...and writers. Lovecraft's Legacy collects 13 stories by critically-acclaimed, award-winning horror and dark fantasy writers, including F. Paul Wilson, Brian Lumley, Gene Wolfe, and Gahan Wilson. With an introduction by Robert Bloch, author of Psycho, this splendid anthology pays well-deserved homage to the late, great master of the weird tale. Author Biography Martin H. Greenberg is a highly respected and prolific editor of scores of anthologies representing some of the finest work in the fields of fantasy, science fiction, and horror.
