Tour De Lovecraft The Tales

Description

H.P. Lovecraft, the Ken Hite Way!

A wide-ranging and friendly journey through H.P. Lovecrafts tales of cosmic terror and wonder, the Tour de Lovecraft is the ideal companion to the work of the twentieth centurys greatest American horrorist.

Kenneth Hite has spent decades reading and re-reading Lovecraft and his heirs, slipping through their forests of verbiage to discover the solid literary ground beneath. With his game designers eye for structure and connection, in this book he reveals the threads and themes that run throughout Lovecrafts masterpieces. The Tour de Lovecraft alternately ambles and careens through all fifty-one of the Masters horror tales in chronological order from The Tomb to The Haunter of the Dark, offering cheerful opinion, incisive literary criticism, playful speculation, and the occasional unhinged rant. Its a response to Lovecraft, and to his occasionally humorless critics, that offers you Edmund Burkes Gothic perspective on Cthulhu side-by-side with The Haunter of the Dark considered as Grail quest.
