The Annotated H.P. Lovecraft by S.T. Joshi, H.P. Lovecraft

4.0

This volume was my introduction to Lovecraft. It contains "The Rats in the Walls", "The Colour Out of Space", "The Dunwich Horror", and the short novel "At the Mountains of Madness". That last one was my favorite, because I love the thrill of discovering some place new. I spent the whole time I was reading it wishing I could be part of the expedition that went into the ancient city, even knowing what horrors lurked in the darkness below. Good stuff. It was particularly fun to read these stories and see all the references and connections to Lovecraft's work in modern fiction, the ones that I'd missed before. What an eye-opener.
