Part of a six-volume series of the best in classic horror, selected by Academy award-winning director Guillermo del Toro.
Howard Phillips Lovecraft(1890-1937) was born in Providence, Rhode
Island, where he spent most of his life. His relatively small body
of work--three novels and sixty short stories--has nevertheless
exercised an incalculable influence on horror and supernatural
fiction.
Guillermo del Torois a Mexican director, producer, screenwriter,
novelist, and designer. He both cofounded the Guadalajara
International Film Festival and formed his own production
company-the Tequila Gang. However, he is most recognized for his
Academy Award-winning film,Pan's Labyrinth, and the Hellboy film
franchise. He has received Nebula and Hugo awards, was nominated
for a Bram Stoker Award, and is an avid collector and student of
arcane memorabilia and weird fiction.
Praise for Penguin Horror Classics:
“The new Penguin Horror editions, selected by Guillermo del Toro,
feature some of the best art-direction (by Paul Buckley) I've seen
in a cover in quite some time.” – Cory Doctorow, Boing Boing
"Each cover does a pretty spectacular job of evoking the mood of
the title in bold, screenprint-style iconography." – Dan Solomon,
Fast Company
