The Best of H.P. Lovecraft: Bloodcurdling Tales of Horror and the Macabre by H.P. Lovecraft, Robert Bloch, August Derleth

4.0

Alan Moore speaks eloquently to where Lovecraft stands in history. While the 19th century imagined a rational machine, WWI and scientific progress opened our eyes to howling, unknowable chaos. Such unprecedented scale of horror is sometimes made difficult by clunky gothic prose, but the chills are visceral and occasionally grossly racist.
