Terror in the House assembles more than forty rare works from the fragile pages of "Weird Tales" and other pulp magazines of the day. Several tales are set in H.P.

Also included are Kuttner's first science fictions stories and his few forays into the "spicy" pulps. Richard Matheson provides a preface and Dr. Garyn G. Roberts' lengthy introduction examines Kuttner's background and influences for these early works"--Dust jacket flap.
