Howard Phillips Lovecraft - an American visionary writer who combined gothic horror and science fiction in his works - became the most iconic master of horror stories for the modern reader at the beginning of the twentieth century, but he was far from the only one. This collection presents the most captivating samples of short horror from Lovecraft's contemporaries in America and Great Britain, both those who were directly acquainted with the genius from Providence and those who developed their own doctrine of supernatural horror completely independently of him. Nameless monsters from the depths of ages and unexplored areas of the Earth, otherworldly avengers and horrors of the dark American South, voodoo curses and encounters with the inexplicable in the mysterious northern seas - all this and much more can be found in the stories presented here.
