Following on from the phenomenal success of Necronomicon comes Eldritch Tales. Howard Phillips Lovecraft died at the age of 47, but in his short life, he turned out dozens of stories which changed the face of horror. His extraordinary imagination spawned both the Elder God Cthulhu and his eldritch cohorts and the strangely compelling town of Innsmouth, all of which feature within these pages.

This collection gathers together the rest of Lovecraft's rarely seen but extraordinary short fiction, including the whole of the long-out-of-print collection Fungi from Yuggoth. Many of these stories have never been available in the UK!

Stephen Jones, one of the world's foremost editors of dark fiction, will complete the Lovecraft story in his extensive afterword, and award-winning artist Les Edwards will provide numerous illustrations for this must-have companion volume to Necronomicon.
