The Complete Works of H.P. Lovecraft
Howard Phillips Lovecraft (August 20, 1890 – March 15, 1937), a prolific and problematic writer, is often considered one of the greatest authors of early American horror, science-fiction, and “weird” fiction. His stories echo such great horror and fantasy authors as Poe, Dunsany, and Chambers. But Lovecraft also brought to his writing a “cosmic horror,” which sprang out of his fantasies and nightmares. The Complete Works of H.P. Lovecraft contains all Lovecraft's solo writings as an adult, beginning in 1917 with “The Tomb” and ending in 1935 with “The Haunter of the Dark.” His collaborative works and revisions are not included.

Distant though it was from the remnant of a road, the house none the less impressed me unfavourably the very moment I espied it. Honest, wholesome structures do not stare at travellers so slyly and hauntingly,
Clearly, my nerves were sorely taxed, and I must cast off these impressions of weaker men.
These folk say that on a table in a bare room on the ground floor are many peculiar bottles, in each a small piece of lead suspended pendulum-wise from a string. And they say that the Terrible Old Man talks to these bottles, addressing them by such names as Jack, Scar-Face, Long Tom, Spanish Joe, Peters, and Mate Ellis, and that whenever he speaks to a bottle the little lead pendulum within makes certain definite vibrations as if in answer.
