Joshi's excellently edited series by Penguin of the collected fictions of the master of weird-fiction, H. P. Lovecraft.

That is why children fear the dark spaces under their beds, but happily crawl under them by daylight to retrieve lost toys. Well it would be interesting to eat your food from the inside out, you must admit. This is Lovecraft country we’re treading. Let us know what’s wrong with this preview of, Published There are no reviews for The Dreams in the Witch House yet. Another HPL tale I love, not least for bringing the whole 'it's not magic, it's a highly alien science' aspect to the fore.
