Synopsis
"Arkham House, a Wisconsin-based
small press founded by the late August Derleth and dedicated
to the H.P. Lovecraft literary fantasy legacy, celebrated
it's 60th year in 1999 with the publication of Arkham's
Masters Of Horror. This impressive compendium features
work drawn from the first 30 years of Arkham's publications
and represents contributions of such horror fantasy icons
as H.P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, Donald Wandrei, Frank
Belknap Long, John Ramsey Campbell, August Derleth, and
a host of others. Arkham's Masters Of Horror is superbly
presented testament to a literary legacy that will admirably
serve to introduce a whole new generation of readers to
some of yesteryear's greatest literary voices whose work
influenced and shaped an entire genre". (Source:
