The Zombie Stories of H. P. Lovecraft: Featuring Herbert West–Reanimator and more!

A fantastic anthology by the true master of horror fiction. Highly recommended.
- Book Nutter’s Book Reviews This is an excellent collection of Lovecraft’s ‘zombie’ stories, which serves both as a treat to old fans and a sampler to people who haven’t read Lovecraft before. I would highly recommend this collection.
- Of Stacks and CupsJoyce Carol Oates, Stephen King, and other experts on horror fiction deem H. P. Lovecraft the master teller of weird tales. These six chilling stories - all published between 1921 and 1933 - offer compelling journeys into the land of the undead.The collection begins with
The Outsider,
the tale of a recluse whose overwhelming loneliness emboldens him to seek out human contact. Subsequent stories include
Herbert West - Reanimator,
written as a satire of Frankenstein and used as the source for a popular horror film;
In the Vault,
in which an undertaker experiences supernatural revenge;
Cool Air,
an account of a doctor’s fanatical obsession with defying death; and
Pickman’s Model,
focusing on an artist’s gallery of nightmares.
The Thing on the Doorstep
concludes the compilation with the compelling tale of a man whose body is preyed upon by a spirit that refuses to die. Highly recommended. A great way to re-animate Lovecraft’s standing as a master of the horror genre.
