Crawling Chaos
Selected Weird Fiction 1917-1927
(Author) H.P. LovecraftH.P. Lovecraft, one of the great obsessive writers of the 20th century, naturally chose the pulp genre of 'weird horror' in which to exorcise his acute anatomical alienation and existential torment. Lovecraft conjures a hideous universe lying just beyond his own; his relentless style and language forge a convoluted midnight-purple literary form which ultimately achieves a veritable 'pornography' of horror. A new expanded edition, including stories not previously included. A distinctive collection of tales of the gruesome and bizarre.
