H P Lovecraft, one of the greatest obsessive writers of the 20th century, naturally chose the pulp genre of "weird horror" in which to exorcise his acute anatomical alienation and existential torment. An indispensable chronological collection of this unique writer's best work; from his distinctive collaborative pieces, prose-poems and early tales of the gruesome and bizarre, through to maturation and efflorescence of his personal cosmology, the Cthulhu Mythos. With an introduction by Colin Wilson, Crawling Chaos is essential to the library of every horror/ fantasy fan.
