Lovecraft's Greatest Collaborations

Thirteen Revisions and Ghost-Written Tales (Annotated Reader's Edition)

By: H. P. Lovecraft

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

The hermit of Providence kept a second career he rarely signed.

H. P. Lovecraft earned his rent not from the stories that made him famous, but from "revision" work that slid quietly into full ghost-writing. A client brought a premise, a dream, or a rough draft. Lovecraft handed back a finished tale. The byline went to the client. His own part stayed hidden, sometimes for decades.

This annotated reader's edition collects thirteen of those tales and gives them a clean, honest home:

The Curse of Yig, the frontier horror that introduced his snake-god.
The Mound, a buried deathless civilization beneath the Oklahoma plains.
Under the Pyramids, ghost-written for Harry Houdini and told in his own voice.
In the Walls of Eryx, Lovecraft's only true science-fiction story.
Medusa's Coil, The Horror in the Museum, Out of the Aeons, and more.

What makes this edition different:
A new introduction on Lovecraft the collaborator.
A headnote before every story that sets the real authorship straight.
Footnotes throughout, explaining the allusions, the mythos terms, and the history.
A publication history recording where each tale first appeared, and under what name.
Honest notes where the stories carry the prejudices of their time, printed unaltered.

The text is freshly reset and corrected from public-domain sources. The scholarship is new. The result is the rare collection that takes Lovecraft's hidden work seriously without flinching from what it is.

For readers of cosmic horror, weird fiction, the Cthulhu Mythos, and the golden age of Weird Tales.
