P. Lovecraft was published to widespread acclaim vaunted as a treasure trove (Joyce Carol Oates) for Lovecraft aficionados and general readers, alike. Hailed by Harlan Ellison as an Olympian landmark of modern gothic literature, the volume included twenty-two of Lovecrafts original stories. Now, in this final volume, best- selling author Leslie S. Klinger reanimates twenty-five additional stories, the balance of Lovecrafts significant fiction, including Rats in the Wall, a post World War I story about the terrors of the past, and the newly contextualized The Horror at Red Hook, which recently has been adapted by best- selling novelist Victor LaValle. In following Lovecrafts own literary trajectory, readers can witness his evolution from Rhode Island critic to prescient literary genius whose titanic influence would only be appreciated decades after his death. Including hundreds of eye- opening annotations and dozens of rare images, Beyond Arkham finally provides the complete picture of Lovecrafts unparalleled achievements in fiction.
