Supernatural Horror in Literature: A Definitive Study of Gothic Tales, Weird Fiction, and the Art of Terror

The master of cosmic horror examines the entire history of supernatural fiction.

In this landmark work of literary criticism, H. P. Lovecraft explores the origins, evolution, and artistry of supernatural horror in literature. From ancient myths and Gothic classics to the eerie short stories of Poe, the unsettling fantasies of Dunsany, and the weird fiction of his own era, Lovecraft dissects the elements that make horror both timeless and terrifying.

Written between 1925 and 1927, Supernatural Horror in Literature is more than an academic essay—it's a passionate tribute to the authors and works that shaped the genre. Lovecraft traces the lineage of ghost stories, dark romances, and cosmic terror with precision, erudition, and his own unmistakable perspective on what makes the human imagination tremble.
