The Horror in the Museum

& Other Stories

HP Lovecraft , Intro. MJ Elliott

For much of his career Lovecraft produced work for which he went uncredited or which was published under a pseudonym with that of a co-author. Produced between 1918 and 1936 these 23 short stories represent the extent of his collaborations, bringing together some of his lesser-known works and tales that were to feature in his Cthulhu Mythos.

Full publisher description
With an Introduction by M.J. Elliott.


'My eyes, perversely shaken open, gazed for an instant upon a sight which no human creature could even imagine without panic, fear and physical exhaustion...'
A wax museum in London boasts a new exhibit, which no man has seen and remained sane... A businessman is trapped in a train carriage with a madman who claims to have created a new and efficient method of capital punishment... A doctor plans a horrible revenge, using as his murder weapon an insect believed capable of consuming the human soul... Within these pages, some of H P Lovecraft's more obscure works of horror and science fiction can be found, including several fantastic tales from his celebrated Cthulhu Mythos. No true Lovecraft aficionado dare be without this volume.
