Synopsis: |
Take a walk on the dark side and discover an array of disturbing, often forgotten horror classics from master of weird fiction, H.P. Lovecraft, best known for creating The Call of Cthulhu.Herbert West is a medical student with an unusual passion: reanimating dead bodies. Consumed by his obsessive experiments, West eventually manages to bring people back to life using a special serum he has created. But he has no idea of the horror he will unleash with the zombies he creates - or rather, an army of monsters, who are out for revenge. This spine-chilling volume also collects some of Lovecraft's most striking stories about the undead, from the undertaker who gets a fright while trapped amongst coffins in In the Vault to the mysterious neighbour who will die if his body temperature is not kept below freezing in Cool Air. Read the terrifying tale of graverobbers inThe Hound and the painter whose art depicting the grotesque is surely too lifelike to have come from his imagination alone in Pickman's Model... |
