Quarto. Black boards, gilt spine, grey unmarked endpapers. [ii], iii-v, 134 pp. Sixteen full page illustrations by Lee Brown Coye, printed on rectos only. Fine, fresh and unmarked in a very good unclipped dust jacket, also illustrated by Coye, with a small tear near the spine top edge, a skinned spot at fore-edge, and toning to white areas. H. P. Lovecraft was a master of cosmic horror, a subgenre of horror fiction that emphasizes the insignificance of humanity in a vast and indifferent universe. His stories often feature ancient and eldritch entities that defy human comprehension and threaten to destroy the world as we know it. This limited edition volume includes three of his most influential and celebrated tales of horror. "The Colour Out of Space:" A meteorite lands on a farm in Massachusetts, unleashing a strange and malignant force that drains the life and sanity of everything around it; "The Dunwich Horror:" A secluded and inbred family in a rural town harbors a dark secret: the spawn of a monstrous and forbidden union between a human and an Outer God; "The Thing on the Doorstep:" A man is haunted by the sinister influence of his friend's wife, who is actually the reincarnated soul of a malevolent sorcerer. These three tales of horror showcase Lovecraft's skill in creating a sense of dread and awe, as well as his themes of cosmicism, forbidden knowledge, and the fragility of the human mind.
