Devoured by the Lovecraftian community and general readers alike, Leslie S. Klinger's best-selling The New Annotated H.P. Lovecraft, Volumes I and II were hailed as classics of the genre. Now Klinger returns with the ideal annotated primer not only for Lovecraft devotees eager for a more portable version but also students, literature-lovers and curious newcomers looking for a scare.

In 'Dagon', one of Lovecraft's earliest stories, the terrifying idea of an unknown being at the bottom of the ocean is introduced for the first time; in 'The Call of Cthulhu', the horror spreads beyond the sea. The iconic 'Rats in the Walls' relates a journey into the depths of a haunted house and mind, while 'The Outsider' is a twisted tale that will make the reader question everything. A necessity for any library, The Call of Cthulhu and Other Stories is an indispensable companion for anyone looking to experience a master at the height of his craft.
