Description:

IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF THE MASTER Terror abounds in twenty-five rare and alluring tales, all set in the legendary Cthulhu Mythos created by the master of horror, H. P. Lovecraft. Covering more than six decades of arcane storytelling, this extraordinary anthology is a triumph of interdimensional threats, ritual magic, and cosmic horrors. �There’s something about Lovecraft’s fiction, about his worlds, that is oddly alluring for a writer of fantasy and horror.” Neil Gaiman �A recommended pick for any Lovecraft fan.” Midwest Book Review
