    Short Description for The Dreams in the Witch House and Other Weird StoriesOne of the masters of weird fiction', H. P. Lovecraft expanded the vast boundaries of the horror genre with his vividly imagined stories of exotic and fantastical otherworlds, nightmarish dreamscapes or the supernatural terrors lurking beneath the surface of small-town America.

  • An Excellent Anthology5

    Gregor Matheson S T Joshi produces yet another excellent edition of HP Lovecraft's weird tales. One of Lovecraft's great strengths as a story teller was his vast erudition concerning science, history, astronomy and architecture. Subsequently, his tales often read like non-fiction reports, and Joshi's notes enrich the experience by adding another layer onto the texts, making the distinction between fiction and non-fiction even more nebulous.

    This volume contains the excellent prose poem Polaris, in which the narrator's dreams and waking life become confused. Longer triumphs include The Dreams in the Witch House and The Shadow Out of Time.

    Also included are Lovecraft's gentler fantay tales: The Tree, The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath, The Silver Key, The Doom that came to Sarnath and others.

    Lastly, for die hard Lovecraft enthusiasts, there is The Horror at Red Hook and The Moon Bog. A friend and I both think these tales are hilarious in their utter deadpan seriousness.

    In all I think this volume is one of my favourite books, and it should appeal to a wide range of readers. by Gregor Matheson
