Horror at Red Hook (Fantasy and Horror Classics) e-bog

"e;The Horror at Red Hook"e; is a 1925 short story by American writer H. P. Lovecraft. Detective Malone recounts his involvement with the case of Robert Suydam, a shabby recluse who seems to have miraculously turned his life around at the same time as a spate of local kidnappings. While investigating the case, Malone comes across no evidence as to his involvement save for a number of strange inscriptions. Written between Lovecraft's early work and his seminal Cthulhu Mythos cycle, "e;Red Hook"e; avoids his characteristic cosmic horror motif abundant in his later work in an attempt to widen his audience and markets. A gripping tale of the occult not to be missed by fans and collectors of Lovecraft's work. Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890-1937) was an American writer of supernatural horror fiction. Though his works remained largely unknown and did not furnish him with a decent living, Lovecraft is today considered to be among the most significant writers of supernatural horror fiction of the twentieth century. Other notable works by this author include: "e;At The Mountains of Madness"e;, "e;The Rats in the Walls"e;, and "e;The Shadow Over Innsmouth"e;. Read & Co. is publishing this classic short story now as part of our "e;Fantasy and Horror Classics"e; imprint in a new edition with a dedication by George Henry Weiss.
