Publisher's Synopsis
Fantasist H P Lovecraft enjoys an honour shared by few other authors of imaginative fiction -- since his death, the term Lovecraftian has come into world-wide use to describe a body of work so fully realised as to influence countless generations of subsequent writers. Each author in this volume came under the Lovecraftian conjuration and then wrote a story that in some way reflects this experience, providing compelling testimony that H P Lovecraft is one of the most influential writers of the 20th century. These stories have been previously published but are now gathered together to create this excellent but diverse anthology.
