H.P. Lovecraft: The Complete Fiction by S.T. Joshi, H.P. Lovecraft

5.0

The father of the modern horror story! It's not always easy to separate the work from the author's frankly horrible, disgusting personality; his prejudices have seeped (quite blatantly in some cases) into his work. That aside, the stories are masterful and gripping. His ability to build up the tension so slowly you dont even notice until the blood is thrumming in your ears makes this a fast, thrilling, truly horrifying read.
