The new annotated H.P. Lovecraft

This volume includes an introduction by Alan Moore and an essay by Victor LaValle that specifically address the author's well-documented history of racism and xenophobia. These contributions provide a critical framework for engaging with the problematic elements of the source material while acknowledging its influence on the horror genre.

Leslie S. Klinger serves as the primary annotator, applying the same rigorous scholarly approach he used for his annotated editions of Sherlock Holmes and Dracula. His notes focus on identifying the literary allusions, historical references, and geographical details embedded within the original texts.
