“Following on from the phenomenal success of NECRONOMICON comes ELDRITCH TALES. Howard Phillips Lovecraft died at the age of 47, but in his short life he turned out dozens of stories which changed the face of horror. His extraordinary imagination spawned both the Elder God Cthulhu and his eldritch cohorts and the strangely compelling town of Innsmouth, all of which feature within these pages. This collection gathers together the rest of Lovecraft’s rarely seen but extraordinary short fiction, including the whole of the long-out-of-print collection FUNGI FROM YOGGOTH. Many of these stories have never been available in the UK! Stephen Jones, one of the world’s foremost editors of dark fiction, will complete the Lovecraft story in his extensive afterword and award-winning artist Les Edwards will provide numerous illustrations for this must-have companion volume to NECRONOMICON.” (publisher’s blurb)

No. 472 Cheyne Walk: Carnacki: The Untold Stories
[display_attributes attributes=”authors”]
[display_attributes attributes=”place-of-publication”]: [display_attributes attributes=”publisher”], [display_attributes attributes=”year-of-publication”].
First Edition.22cm x 14cm. xiv, 242 pages. Black cloth, gilt lettering, illustrated jacket.
“William Hope Hodgson’s ‘Carnacki, The Ghost Finder’ was published in 1913, and contained six stories describing the adventures of the plucky occult detective Thomas Carnacki. Each story followed the same formula: Carnacki, having successfully concluded an investigation into the Ab-natural, would meet with four friends at his home near the Thames Embankment and regale them with the hair-raising details before dismissing them good-naturedly into the night. Like the detective stories of Sherlock Holmes, the Carnacki tales contain several references to other, never-described cases. These references–never elaborated upon by Hodgson–intrigued writers A. F. (Chico) Kidd and Rick Kennett, who, in Great Britain and Australia respectively, decided to try to fill in some of the details. They proceeded independently until Rick, attempting to write a Carnacki tale titled ‘The Steeple Monster’, realised that he needed the assistance of someone versed in bells and bell towers. Chico was invited to collaborate on the tale; and she agreed, adding that she had written a few Carnacki pastiches of her own… Their first four stories were published by the Ghost Story Society in 1992, in a booklet entitled ‘No. 472 Cheyne Walk’. Since then both authors have continued to explore the mysterious world of Carnacki, and the result is the present volume, which adds a further eight tales to the four originally published in 1992. These tales take Carnacki as far afield as Australia, and provide details of his early life, and the experiences which set him in pursuit of the other-worldly. There is even an opportunity, in ‘Arkright’s Tale’, for one of Carnacki’s regular dinner companions to demonstrate how much he has learned from his friend; and introduce us to a very special guest, who himself knows a thing or two about the supernatural.”

Lovecraft At Last: The Master of Horror In His Own Words
[display_attributes attributes=”authors”]
[display_attributes attributes=”place-of-publication”]: [display_attributes attributes=”publisher”], [display_attributes attributes=”year-of-publication”].
First Edition.29cm x 22cm. xxviii, 278 pages, black and white illustrations. Black papered boards, gilt lettering, illustrated jacket.
H.P. Lovecraft was a complex figure. He died young, in poverty, and was only acclaimed a master of horror writing after his death. His writing went on to inspire Stephen King, Joyce Carol Oates and others to acclaim him the greatest practitioner of the horror tale in the 20th century. But deeper digging into his life and work reveals deep philosophical complexity, as well as trenchant racism and classism. In this collection of correspondence between Lovecraft and his friend Willis Conover, a broadcaster and jazz producer, Lovecraft the man finally comes through. With an introduction by S.T. Joshi and foreword by Harold Taylor, this is the most comprehensive answer yet to the question, who is H.P. Lovecraft?
Spine tail lightly bumped. Very minor markings to boards Lightly bumped bottom spine corner. Minor wear to jacket edges Minor dampstain to top edge of jacket. Very Good Condition.
