Lovecraft is a selection chosen by the critic August Nemo, that reveals the mesmerizing narrative style of the visionary american writer. M. R. James redefined the ghost story by abandoning many of the formal Gothic clichés and using more realistic contemporary settings. H.P. Lovecraft was a fan, and wrote a review on his work: "...gifted with an almost diabolic power of calling horror by gentle steps from the midst of prosaic daily life." he says, also adding: "Dr. James has, it is clear, an intelligent and scientific knowledge of human nerves and feelings; and knows just how to apportion statement, imagery, and subtle suggestions in order to secure the best results with his readers." The critic Augst Nemo selected seven short stories for you to enter the gloomy world of M. R. James. This is one of many books in the series 3 Books To Know.
