So wrote horror master H. P. Lovecraft in his landmark essay "Supernatural Horror in Literature," a survey that has for nearly a century served as a required reading list for tales of the supernatural. H. P. Lovecraft Selects: Classic Horror Fiction collects in one volume more than thirty stories that Lovecraft singled out in his essay as the best horror tales of all time, including: The Vampyre: With this tale of the sinister Lord Ruthven and his predatory travels across the European continent, John Polidori helped to make the vampire one of the most popular themes in horror fiction. Lot No. 249: Arthur Conan Doyle's groundbreaking story set the standard for treatments of mummies in horror fiction and films with its account of a collector of Egyptian artifacts who has found dangerously unorthodox uses for the centerpiece of his collection. The Monkey's Paw: In this well-known tale by W. W. Jacons, the owner of a magic talisman with the power to grant wishes finds that it can make dreams come true--and also nightmares. The Treasure of Abbot Thomas: The antiquary who solves the cypher in M. R. James's macabre masterpiece thinks that he will soon take possession of the centuries-old treasure that it has helped to conceal--but he underestimates the unholy powers that its owner has invoked to safeguard it. The White People: "You haven't realized what sin is," says a character in Arthur Machen's horror classic, before regaling the reader with an account of a young child's indoctrination into occult rituals that have terrifying consequences for their ill-ated victims. Ancient Sorceries: Algernon Blackwood's adventure of psychic sleuth John Silence is a tale concerned with sorcerous doings in a small French town and how they relate to its abnormally large population of cats. The House on the Borderland: William Hope Hodgson presents this novel-length work of cosmic horror as the journal of a man whose house is under siege from otherworldy monsters living in the chasm beneath it.
