Contact seller5-star sellerSoft cover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. The first book in this horror triad, The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, is arguably one of the best of Lovecrafts horror stories and this copy was part of the 1971 Ballantine/ Beagle/ Boxer Books boxed set of five Lovecraft titles. The second book, Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos (Vol 1) with st…ories by Clark Ashton Smith, Robert Bloch, J. Vernon Shea, Frank Belknap Long, to name a few; was part of a two volume anthology; edited by August Derleth and was also released in 1971, with mind bending covers by Victor Valla. The final book in this horror triad is The Mask of Cthulhu; which, for all intensive purposes, represents a postscript in tribute to the creative imagination of H.P. Lovecraft. It includes the following stories (all by Derleth); Return of Hastur (started by Lovecraft before his death); The Whippoorwills in the Hills; Something in Wood; the Sandwin Compact; the House in the Valley; The Seal of R'Lyeh. These are all collectable paperbacks with one of a kind cover art and belong in the collection of any horror fan. Difficult to find at this price. For the most part, in good condition; two have water/food stains on back cover, all have browning pages (not brittle), and dinged corners. Bindings are square and tight with creases. Cover Illstrations by; Murray Tinkelman and Victor Valla (illustrator).
