A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice Selection
"The most exciting and definitive collection of Lovecraft's work out there." âDanielle Trussoni, New York Times Book Review
No lover of gothic literature will want to be without this literary keepsake, the final volume of Leslie Klingerâs tour-de-force chronicle of Lovecraftâs canon.
In 2014, The New Annotated H. P. Lovecraft was published to widespread acclaimâ vaunted as a âtreasure troveâ (Joyce Carol Oates) for Lovecraft aficionados and general readers, alike. Hailed by Harlan Ellison as an âOlympian landmark of modern gothic literature,â the volume included twenty-two of Lovecraftâs original stories. Now, in this final volume, best- selling author Leslie S. Klinger reanimates twenty-five additional stories, the balance of Lovecraftâs significant fiction, including âRats in the Wall,â a postâ World War I story about the terrors of the past, and the newly contextualized âThe Horror at Red Hook,â which recently has been adapted by best- selling novelist Victor LaValle. In following Lovecraftâs own literary trajectory, readers can witness his evolution from Rhode Island critic to prescient literary genius whose titanic influence would only be appreciated decades after his death. Including hundreds of eye- opening annotations and dozens of rare images, Beyond Arkham finally provides the complete picture of Lovecraftâs unparalleled achievements in fiction.
