Book Description
“H. P. Lovecraft has yet to be surpassed as the twentieth century’s greatest practitioner of the classic horror tale.”—Stephen King Some tales in this collection were inspired by H. P. Lovecraft, others he revised, two he co-authored–but all bear the mark of the master of primordial terror. The Horror in the Museum: Locked up for the night, a man will discover the difference between waxen grotesqueries and the real thing. The Electric Executioner: Aboard a train, a traveler must match wits with a murderous madman. The Trap: This mirror wants a great deal more than your reflection. The Ghost-Eater: In an ancient woodland, the past comes to life with a bone-crunching vengeance. And twenty more stories of unspeakable evil! “Lovecraft’s fiction is one of the cornerstones of modern horror.”—Clive Barker

Book Description
Spanning over a century of cinema and comprised of 127 films, this book analyzes the cinematic incarnations of the "uncanniest place on earth"--wax museums. Nothing is as it seems at a wax museum. It is a place of wonder, horror and mystery. Will the figures come to life at night, or are they very much dead with corpses hidden beneath their waxen shells? Is the genius hand that molded them secretly scarred by a terrible tragedy, longing for revenge? Or is it a sinner's sanctum, harboring criminals with countless places to hide in plain sight? This chronological analysis includes essential behind the scenes information in addition to authoritative research comparing the creation of "real" wax figures to the "reel" ones seen onscreen. Publicly accessible or hidden away in a maniac's lair, wax museums have provided the perfect settings for films of all genres to thrillingly play out on the big screen since the dawn of cinema.

Book Description
Every tale in this engrossing collection bears the unmistakable mark of the genius who inspired it--the creator of the Cthulhu Mythos, H. P. Lovecraft. For Lovecraft not only revised the stories of his fellow adventurers in the haunting and haunted worlds of legend and lore, he more often entirely rewrote them or collaborated extensively in their creation. As in all of Lovecraft's fiction, then, these startlingly original tales explore the farthest reaches of the imagination, the cosmic realms of myth and mystery, and unutterable terrors in arcane domains as they lure the reader out of a familiar but precarious everyday reality.
