The stories in this collection are for the most part secondary to H. P. Lovecraft’s major fiction. They represent every vein that Lovecraft made his own, and many of them are certainly among the best short stories of the macabre written in the twentieth century. An equal number belong to a group which Lovecraft himself frequently deprecated in his letters to his correspondents, over and above the habitual modesty with which Lovecraft looked upon his work.
