"I tried to turn away, but the shadows and the sounds and the stench were everywhere. Then I remembered something I used to do in half-conscious nightmares as a boy, and began to repeat to myself, 'This is a dream! This is a dream!' But it was of no use..." This collection brings together for the first time some of H P Lovecraft's more obscure works of weird fiction. Within these pages, you will find a serial ghost-written for the famous showman Harry Houdini, a rare foray into science fiction and several fantastic tales from the Cthulhu Mythos. "The Loved Dead and Other Stories" is the book for every true Lovecraft aficionado.
