H.P. Lovecraft (1890–1937) is regarded as the leading twentieth-century American author of supernatural fiction. Leslie S. Klinger is the multi-award-winning editor and annotator of seven volumes in Liveright’s New Annotated Series as well as the collection The Call of Cthulhu and Other Stories. He lives in Los Angeles, California. Alan Moore is a magician and performer, and is widely regarded as the best and most influential writer in the history of comics. His seminal works include From Hell, V for Vendetta, and Watchmen, for which he won the Hugo Award. He was born in 1953 in Northampton, UK, and has lived there ever since.

"Norton's new volume must surely be the definitive collection. It is meticulously and imaginatively edited, beautifully illustrated and immaculately produced, with a thought-stirring introduction by the graphic novel writer Alan Moore."

1. 5/5

   Excellent Lovecraft overview

   I own several books containing HPL's stories, mostly cheap paperbacks. This book is the opposite end of the spectrum. A truly massive and high-quality book, technically speaking, and the content is top-notch. Leslie Klinger does a great job of explaining lots of interesting details from Lovecraft's stories that are easy to miss for the casual reader.
