What makes a story truly terrifying? H. P. Lovecraft, the master of cosmic dread, gives you the answer.

Supernatural Horror in Literature is not a story, but an essential work of literary criticism and history, written by the mind that defined modern horror. This comprehensive essay traces the evolution of the "weird tale" from the Gothic masters like Poe and Radcliffe to the modern fantasists, culminating in Lovecraft's own philosophy of cosmic horror.

Dive into Lovecraft's incisive analysis of the genre's greatest practitioners, including Edgar Allan Poe, Ambrose Bierce, Henry James, and Arthur Machen. Discover his famous defense of the literature of absolute terror and his argument that the most potent fear is derived from humanity's deep-seated unease about its place in an infinite, unknowable cosmos. This book provides a key to understanding Lovecraft's entire fictional universe—the Cthulhu Mythos—and is required reading for any serious student or fan of the genre.
