The Call of Cthulhu

Devoured by the Lovecraftian community and general readers alike, Leslie S. Klingers 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 Lovecrafts 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. A paperback original.
