The most significant American supernaturalist since Poe, H. P. Lovecraft (1890–1937), has had a huge impact on all subsequent horror fiction. Despite the recent unparalleled success of his supernatural fiction, few people are aware that he also wrote a critical history of literary supernatural horror that is still the best historical analysis of the subgenre. This volume contains the final, updated text of this outstanding masterpiece.
