Description

Now readers have an opportunity to scrutinize and further appreciate the greatness of Lovecraft's strange genius as Lovecraft scholar S. T. Joshi annotates, for the first time, some of Lovecraft's most famous tales. S. T. Joshi's text illuminates the more obscure references throughout Lovecraft's writing, from an explanation of the chemicals referred to in "The Dunwich Horror" to the definition of one of his favorite adjectives, "eldritch." Readers will also discover which story details are wholly fabricated by H. P. Lovecraft and which are taken from real life, such as the "Moodus Noises" and "Garden of the Gods."
