Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890-1937) was an influential American writer of weird and horror fiction. Lovecraft's writing often explored themes of existential dread, forbidden knowledge, and the insignificance of humanity in the face of incomprehensible cosmic forces. In this book, we present you with five stories of Lovecraft—‘The Shunned House,’ ‘The Haunter of the Dark,’ ‘The Picture in the House,’ ‘The Rats in the Walls,’ and ‘The Dreams in the Witch House,’—each in its own way reveals his mastery of cosmic horror, weaving together ancient evils and the fragility of human sanity. In ‘The Shunned House,’ Lovecraft delves into the history of a cursed dwelling, its dark secrets, and the sinister forces that plague its residents. ‘The Haunter of the Dark’ explores the terror of forbidden knowledge and the dreadful consequences of uncovering ancient truths. ‘The Picture in the House’ and ‘The Rats in the Walls’ delve into the hidden horrors lurking in the past, in old books and beneath the foundations of ancestral homes, reminding us that history can be a grim and unsettling revelation. Finally, ‘The Dreams in the Witch House’ takes readers on a journey through the ominous corridors of Arkham, where academic curiosity leads to encounters with eldritch horrors. Lovecraft's blend of psychological dread and cosmic malevolence continues to make these stories essential reading for fans of horror fiction, leaving a lasting impression on those who dare to explore the depths of his eldritch imagination.

Surrounded by strange weeds and rancid odours, and infested by glowing fungus, two men venture into the depths of the accursed building to discover what brought such a fate upon the house's inhabitants, and discern once and for all if their deaths were natural, or something more sinister.

The Shunned House of the title is based on an actual house in Providence, Rhode Island built around 1763 and still standing at 135 Benefit Street. Lovecraft was familiar with the house because his aunt Lillian Clark lived there in 1919-20 as a companion to Mrs. H. C. Babbit.

From even the greatest of horrors irony is seldom absent. Sometimes it enters directly into the composition of the events, while sometimes it relates only to their fortuitous position among persons and places. The latter sort is splendidly exemplified by a case in the ancient city of Providence, where in the late forties Edgar Allan Poe used to sojourn often during his unsuccessful wooing of the gifted poetess, Mrs. Whitman. Poe generally stopped at the Mansion House in Benefit Street--the renamed Golden Ball Inn whose roof has sheltered Washington, Jefferson, and Lafayette--and his favorite walk led northward along the same street to Mrs. Whitman's home and the neighboring hillside churchyard of St. John's, whose hidden expanse of Eighteenth Century gravestones had for him a peculiar fascination.

A fantastic example of chilling Lovecraftian literature not to be missed by fans of horror fiction. Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890–1937) was an American writer of supernatural horror fiction. Though his works remained largely unknown and did not furnish him with a decent living, Lovecraft is today considered to be among the most significant writers of supernatural horror fiction of the twentieth century. Other notable works by this author include: “At The Mountains of Madness”, “The Rats in the Walls”, and “The Shadow Over Innsmouth”.
