"H. P. Lovecraft has yet to be surpassed as the twentieth century's greatest practitioner of the classic horror tale."-Stephen King

Some tales in this collection were inspired by H. P. Lovecraft, others he revised, two he co-authored-but all bear the mark of the master of primordial terror.

The Horror in the Museum: Locked up for the night, a man will discover the difference between waxen grotesqueries and the real thing.

The Electric Executioner: Aboard a train, a traveler must match wits with a murderous madman.

The Trap: This mirror wants a great deal more than your reflection.

The Ghost-Eater: In an ancient woodland, the past comes to life with a bone-crunching vengeance.

And twenty more stories of unspeakable evil!

"Lovecraft's fiction is one of the cornerstones of modern horror."-Clive Barker
