Klinger reanimates Lovecraft with clarity and historical insight, charting the rise of the erstwhile pulp writer, whose rediscovery and reclamation into the literary canon can be compared only to that of Poe or Melville. Weaving together a broad base of existing scholarship with his own original insights, Klinger appends Lovecraft's uncanny oeuvre and Kafkaesque life story in a way that provides context and unlocks many of the secrets of his often cryptic body of work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver the course of his career, Lovecraft--\"the Copernicus of the horror story\" (Fritz Leiber)--made a marked departure from the gothic style of his predecessors that focused mostly on ghosts, ghouls, and witches, instead crafting a vast mythos in which humanity is but a blissfully unaware speck in a cosmos shared by vast and ancient alien beings. One of the progenitors of \"weird fiction,\" Lovecraft wrote stories suggesting that we share not just our reality but our planet, and even a common ancestry, with unspeakable, godlike creatures just one accidental revelation away from emerging from their epoch of hibernation and extinguishing both our individual sanity and entire civilization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollowing his best-selling \u003ci\u003eThe New Annotated Sherlock Holmes\u003c\/i\u003e, Leslie S. Klinger collects here twenty-two of Lovecraft's best, most chilling \"Arkham\" tales, including \"The Call of Cthulhu,\" \u003ci\u003eAt the Mountains of Madness\u003c\/i\u003e, \"The Whisperer in Darkness,\" \"The Shadow Over Innsmouth,\" \"The Colour Out of Space,\" and others.

P. Lovecraft and stirs the Great Old Ones in their millennia of sleep.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liveright Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/13\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780871404534\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 928\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 8.90w x 2.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Bram Stoker Awards - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2014 pg. 27\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/25\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/18\/2014 pg. 73\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"H.
