The bizarre terror tales of H.P. Lovecraft are some of the most influential in the world, and for good reason - the Rhode Island-born author was plugged into something far beyond the mortal ken. His stories - one of which, At The Mountains Of Madness, is set to be adapted into film by Guillermo Del Toro - are unlike anything else out there. In Lovecraft-land, humanity is at the mercy of alien space gods from beyond the borders of knowable space, and it's all we can do is retain our sanity if we're lucky. Necronomicon collects most of his best work in one handy, creepy volume.
