Book excerpt: A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice Selection "The most exciting and definitive collection of Lovecraft's work out there." –Danielle Trussoni, New York Times Book Review No lover of gothic literature will want to be without this literary keepsake, the final volume of Leslie Klinger’s tour-de-force chronicle of Lovecraft’s canon. In 2014, The New Annotated H. P. Lovecraft was published to widespread acclaim— vaunted as a “treasure trove” (Joyce Carol Oates) for Lovecraft aficionados and general readers, alike. Hailed by Harlan Ellison as an “Olympian landmark of modern gothic literature,” the volume included twenty-two of Lovecraft’s original stories. Now, in this final volume, best- selling author Leslie S. Klinger reanimates twenty-five additional stories, the balance of Lovecraft’s significant fiction, including “Rats in the Wall,” a post– World War I story about the terrors of the past, and the newly contextualized “The Horror at Red Hook,” which recently has been adapted by best- selling novelist Victor LaValle. In following Lovecraft’s own literary trajectory, readers can witness his evolution from Rhode Island critic to prescient literary genius whose titanic influence would only be appreciated decades after his death. Including hundreds of eye- opening annotations and dozens of rare images, Beyond Arkham finally provides the complete picture of Lovecraft’s unparalleled achievements in fiction.

Book excerpt: Explore the marvelous complexity of Lovecraft's writing—including his use of literary allusions, biographical details, and obscure references in this rich, in-depth exploration of great horror fiction from the acknowledged master of the weird, including the stories "Herbert West—Reanimator", "Pickman's Model", "The Call of Cthulhu", "The Thing on the Doorstep", "The Horror at Red Hook" and more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally composed in 1931, H.P. Lovecraft's novella At the Mountains of Madness (1936) is one of his most famous and successful stories, with numerous overt connections to his other works.The story is narrated by Professor William Dyer, a geologist with Miskatonic University. He begins by explaining that he does not wish to tell his story, but is compelled to because men of science will not heed his warnings without explanations. Dyer led a team sponsored by the university that intended to use an advanced new drilling technology to extract samples from Antarctica. Dyer's team included Frank Pabodie, the inventor of the drill, as well as Lake and Atwood, fellow professors from the university, and assistants. Dyer makes it clear he is attempting to dissuade a planned second mission from following in their footsteps.Dyer details their initial work taking bore samples. Some of the samples seem to have triangular-shaped prints in them, but the team dismisses these as distortions. As the team moves over the South Pole, it sees a previously unknown range of mountains. Lake announces that he will take a team to explore this new feature, despite Dyer's misgivings. Lake and his team fly off in one of the expedition's airplanes, which crashes near the mountains. Lake and his team survive and set up a camp at the site.The team begins core sampling near the crash site and discovers an underground cavern. They cautiously enter the cavern and discover that it is filled with bones and shells--a huge amount of animal remains of all kinds. At first, the team is disturbed, but Dyer explains this by theorizing that the bones were carried into the cavern via runoff during ice melts, which satisfies the others.Further exploration reveals more than a dozen fossilized artifacts, described as "barrel-shaped." These fossils are in nearly perfect condition despite having clearly been in the cavern for a very long time. The team transports some of these fossils to the surface to have their first clear look at the creatures. Their bodies are barrel-shaped, with tentacle-like arms, star-shaped heads--and triangular feet that match the prints seen in earlier core samples.

Download or read book H P Lovecraft s at the Mountains of Madness ANNOTATED written by Howard Phillips Lovecraft and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-05 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the Mountains of Madness, novella by H. P. Lovecraft, written in 1931, rejected for magazine publication in Weird Tales (not least because of its length) and then serially published in Astounding Stories in 1936.H. P. Lovecraft's most effective novel begins as a tale of exploration at the cutting edge of science. Airplanes and drilling devices are shipped to Antarctica in 1930, just as the mapping of the continent begins in earnest. But this "awful place," more ancient than any other continent, is not so easily opened up to materialist exploitation. Soon enough, an entirely new history of the world is in evidence, one that undermines all previously held views of science and nature, a vision that contains vast alien cities buried beneath the ice and the awesome and awful survivors of its heyday.The positive and efficient first-person narrative of the geologist, Dr. William Dyer, patiently and didactically explains the wonders of new technology. Only when the first survey group, isolated by a storm, begins to radio back of highly unusual finds in a cavern beneath the surface, do events begin to unravel. From then on, Dyer and his companion, the student Danforth, are on a downward spiral of discovery that attacks every notion of time, space, and life, until Danforth's speech is reduced to disconnected fragments, recalled only in dreams.Deeply influenced by Poe, Lovecraft's horror tends to be implied and offstage, but this effectively deepens the abounding philosophical horror felt by the protagonists. This intriguing blend of gothic horror and lost-world scenarios within a more modern genre framework can be rediscovered in many contemporary narratives, especially film. Lovecraft achieved little success in his lifetime but his work resonates with themes that consistently inspire later generations of writers, science fiction as much as horror. Largely due to his Cthulhu stories, called Cthulhu Mythos by August Derleth, Lovecraft is today the subject of a large cult following.
