The Complete Works of Prose. Volume 1. Howard Phillips Lovecraft

Lovecraft is one of those writers who does not need special introduction. It is difficult to overestimate the influence of his work on modern literature of the fantastic and bizarre, as well as on mass culture in general. Drawing his inspiration from the works of another outstanding American, Edgar Allan Poe, Lovecraft was able to create his own completely original literary world of myths and dark prophecies, forgotten gods from distant extinguished stars and night dreams, in which a gloomy hidden truth is revealed. The literary heritage of Howard Phillips Lovecraft has been used in many films, works of fine art, and in terms of the number of continuers of his literary traditions, he can compete with any other writer in the world.

The first volume of the complete collection of prose works of the outstanding master of literature of the “mysterious and otherworldly” H.F. Lovecraft covers his prose, written between 1917 and 1926, from the writer's earliest attempts at the mystical story "The Crypt" to such famous works as "The Temple", "Herbert West - The Reanimator", "The Hidden Horror", "Rats in the Walls", "The Abandoned House" and "The Horror of Red Hook".
