H. P. Lovecraft - The Thing on the Doorstep, A Fantasy and Horror Classic Anthology

H. P. Lovecraft is perhaps the best horror author of his time, and a classic by now, with his distinctive, exquisite writing manners, his unique, peculiar atmosphere, and terrible nightmare descriptions.



The Thing on the Doorstep is an anthology by Lovecraft, it contains, along with the short story of the same title, several short fictions and two novellas: The Case of Charles Dexter Ward and At the Mountains of Madness.
My personal favourites are Pickman’s Model, The Thing on the Doorstep, The Case of Charles Dexter Ward. The first story is about an artist whose works look formidably alive, sacrilegous, and eerie – and people are appalled by them for a good reason… The Thing on the Doorstep is a story of a young student who marries a strange girl whom most of the fellow students avoid like plague. Soon the young man’s personality changes in a frightening way… The Case of Charles Dexter Ward is the story of a young man who happens to find an old picture in his wealthy parents’ home – and one by one he changes until he ends up in a mental hospital…
