The Attic Window and Other Stories

The most ancient and strongest emotion of humankind is fear, and the most ancient and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.” — H. P. Lovecraft. Howard Phillips Lovecraft forever changed the face of the horror, fantasy, and science-fiction genres thanks to a remarkable series of stories that had the same impact on literature as the works of Edgar Allan Poe and Ambrose Bierce. His chilling mythology opened a gate between our world and the ancient realm of fear beyond, and secured him a permanent place in the history of American horror literature.
