A collection of macabre tales from master of horror H.P. Lovecraft, including Reanimator--considered to be one of the zombie stories ever published Take a walk on the dark side and discover an array of disturbing, often forgotten horror classics from master of weird fiction, H. P. Lovecraft, best known for creating "The Call of Cthulhu." Herbert West is a medical student with an unusual passion: reanimating dead bodies. Consumed by his obsessive experiments, West eventually manages to bring people back to life using a special serum he has created. But he has no idea of the horror he will unleash with the zombies he creates--or rather, an army of monsters, who are out for revenge. This spine-chilling volume also collects some of Lovecraft's most striking stories about the undead and other terrifying people, from the traveler who takes refuge in an abandoned house, only to be confronted by an enigmatic man with a horrifying past in "The Picture in the House;" to the trio who fatally underestimate a local villager who seems more eccentric than harmless in "The Terrible Old Man." Discover the truth behind why the killing of cats is forbidden in one particular town in "The Cats of Ulthar" and what happens when a day-dreaming boy stumbles upon a tomb with his name on it in "The Tomb."

This Edition of H.P. Lovecraft's classic tale of scientific experimentation and zombies is well paired with a unique short story collection. 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, His relatively small corpus of fiction--three short novels and 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.

This is an American horror story written in the 1920s that inspired the creation of the 1985 film Re-Animator and its many sequels. The story is the first to mention Lovecraft's fictional Miskatonic University. It is also one of the first depictions of zombies as scientifically reanimated corpses, with animalistic and uncontrollable temperaments.
