"H. P. Lovecraft has yet to be surpassed as the twentieth century's greatest practitioner of the classic horror tale."--Stephen King Some tales in this collection were inspired by H. P. Lovecraft, others he revised, two he co-authored-but all bear the mark of the master of primordial terror. The Horror in the Museum: Locked up for the night, a man will discover the difference between waxen grotesqueries and the real thing.** The Electric Executioner:Aboard a train, a traveler must match wits with a murderous madman. The Trap:This mirror wants a great deal more than your reflection. The Ghost-Eater:In an ancient woodland, the past comes to life with a bone-crunching vengeance. And twenty more stories of unspeakable evil! "Lovecraft's fiction is one of the cornerstones of modern horror."--Clive Barker**
