Dagon and Other Macabre Tales

Lovecraft's lesser fiction including the Tomb, Arthur Jermyn, The Moon-Bog, and The Lurking Fear is anthologized and supplemented by his long essay Supernatural Horror in Literature

From Publishers Weekly

This last volume of a trilogy represents the culmination of a monumental projectthe bringing into print of Lovecraft's stories in their definitive form, based on manuscripts and notes. This volume also contains the important study, "Supernatural Horror in Literature," and repairs a longtime need by providing it with an index. T. E. D. Klein, whose work has been influenced by Lovecraft, contributes a long introduction tracing the authors who themselves influenced Lovecraft, in particular Lord Dunsany. Among the stories are "From Beyond" and "Herbert WestReanimator," both of which have recently been brought to the screen, "Beyond the Wall of Sleep," "The Lurking Fear" and "Under the Pyramid," this last ghostwritten for Harry Houdini. Joshi, whose long-time project this has been, has also provided a chronological listing of HPL's works. Copyright 1986 Reed Business Information, Inc.
