Product Description

Book Description

Howard Phillips Lovecraft's unique contribution to American literature was a melding of traditional supernaturalism (derived chiefly from Edgar Allan Poe) with the genre of science fiction that emerged in the early 1920s. This new Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics edition brings together a dozen of the master's tales-from his early short stories "Under the Pyramids" (originally ghostwritten for Harry Houdini) and "The Music of Erich Zann" (which Lovecraft ranked second among his own favorites) through his more fully developed works, "The Dunwich Horror," The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, and At the Mountains of Madness.

The Thing on the Doorstep and Other Weird Stories presents the definitive corrected texts of these works, along with Lovecraft critic and biographer S. T. Joshi's illuminating introduction and notes to each story.


About the Author

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.

特にテーマを絞っている訳でもなさそうだが、ラヴクラフト作品の公汎な魅力について万遍なく知ることが出来る好傑作選。色々な付加的情報が盛り沢山の懇切丁寧な作りになっているので、ラヴクラフト作品はもう何度も読み返したと云う熱心な読者にも充分楽しめる内容となっている。

ヨシ氏による10頁の解説は、ラヴクラフトと云う作家の人物の特殊性について論じていて仲々面白く読める。他に割と親切な読書案内にテキスト注解、そして70頁以上に亘って、収録された各作品についての解説と参考文献リスト、それに詳細な註が載せられている。註付きのラヴクラフトの本と云えば既に同じくヨシ氏の編による"The Annotated HPL"シリーズが存在する。向こうの方が写真等も掲載されているし註の記載の仕方も便利で数の方も若干多いのだが、ペンギン版の方が詳しく書かれている項目もあったりするので、一概にどちらがいいとは言えない。収録作品は以下の通り。

The Tomb
Beyond the Wall of Sleep
The White Ship
The Temple
The Quest of Iranon
The Music of Erich Zann
Under the Pyramids
Pickman's Model
The Case of Charles Dexter Ward
The Dunwich Horror
At the Mountains of Madness
The Thing on the Doorstep
