Among them are At the Mountains of Madness and Other Novels of Terror (1964), Dagon and Other Macabre Tales (1965) and The Horror in the Museum and Other Revisions (1970).

Reviews

'The 20th century horror story's dark and baroque prince' Stephen King 'These tales of horror are in the true gothic tradition full of hinted terrors and unholy stenches. They are something very much out of the ordinary, a real collector's piece for connoisseurs of the unusual! Lovers of the macabre, the sinister, and the uncanny, take note.' Guardian' 'Horror against which there is neither defence nor refuge there is in his work something of lasting appeal' Time Out
