""A fantastic anthology by the true master of horror fiction. Highly recommended."" - Book Nutter's Book Reviews""This is an excellent collection of Lovecraft's 'zombie' stories, which serves both as a treat to old fans and a sampler to people who haven't read Lovecraft before. I would highly recommend this collection."" - Of Stacks and CupsJoyce Carol Oates, Stephen King, and other experts on horror fiction deem H. P. Lovecraft the master teller of weird tales. These six chilling stories - all published between 1921 and 1933 - offer compelling journeys into the land of the undead.The collection begins with ""The Outsider,"" the tale of a recluse whose overwhelming loneliness emboldens him to seek out human contact. Subsequent stories include ""Herbert West - Reanimator,"" written as a satire of Frankenstein and used as the source for a popular horror film; ""In the Vault,"" in which an undertaker experiences supernatural revenge; ""Cool Air,"" an account of a doctor's fanatical obsession with defying death; and ""Pickman's Model,"" focusing on an artist's gallery of nightmares. ""The Thing on the Doorstep"" concludes the compilation with the compelling tale of a man whose body is preyed upon by a spirit that refuses to die.""Highly recommended. A great way to re-animate Lovecraft's standing as a master of the horror genre."" -Looking for a Good Book
