The Best of H. P. Lovecraft: Bloodcurdling Tales of Horror and the Macabre

It seems that whenever I see a particularly interesting movie, it is "based on the works of H.P. Lovecraft," so I thought I'd see what all the fuss was about. After reading this book, I'd have to agree that Lovecraft is, "Twentieth Century's greatest practitioner of the classic horror tale."

I must advise, however, that these stories don't fall under the Easy To Read category. Long, flowery descriptions - with words from the Advanced Vocabulary list - could possibly slow you down. But don't let this deter you from reading some of the creepiest stories you'll ever lay your eyes upon!
