More About the Author

H. P. Lovecraft was born in 1890 in Providence, Rhode Island, where he lived most of his life. He wrote many essays and poems early in his career, but gradually focused on the writing of horror stories, after the advent in 1923 of the pulp magazine Weird Tales, to which he contributed most of his fiction. His relatively small corpus of fiction--three short novels and about sixty short stories--has nevertheless exercised a wide influence on subsequent work in the field, and he is regarded as the leading twentieth-century American author of supernatural fiction. H. P. Lovecraft died in Providence in 1937.

5.0 out of 5 stars beautifully presented classic of the genre, July 8, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: At the Mountains of Madness (Hardcover)

Lovecraft's work deserves this sort of presentation, though of course the price could be a little less ominous. Nevertheless, bound in beautiful leather and adorned with simple and absolutely appropriate art work one can find onesself taken away on the cosmic journey that's part Pym, part Alice In Inferno, and certainly reminicent of the cold arctic caverns that made their most recent appearance in the X-Files movie.If you know a fan, this would make an outstanding gift.

The first thing you'll notice when picking up this issue of H.P. Lovecraft's cult classic is that there's some kind of yeti and a weird portal on the cover. Clearly the illustrator read something different than the rest of us.

Although I enjoyed the story itself, this deluxe edition really didn't do anything for me. The book is 9.5 x 13 which makes it awkward to handle, hard to read and difficult to store. Fernando Duval did the illustrations and are alright at best. Supposed to be limited to 1000 copies. The book is autographed by Duval but not numbered. Not that it would make any difference. Overpriced, stick to the regular hardbound edition unless you are into odd-sized books.
