description: Fantasist H. P. Lovecraft enjoys an honor shared by few other authors of imaginative fiction -- since his death, the term Lovecraftian has come into worldwide use to describe a body of work so fully realized as to influence countless generations of subsequent writers. Each author in this volume came under the Lovecraftian conjuration and then wrote a story that in some way reflects this experience, providing compelling testimony that H. P. Lovecraft is one of the most influential writers of the 20(th) century.These stories have been previously published but are now gathered together to create this excellent and diverse anthology.Contents (view Concise Listing) xiii • The "Shadow" over Lovecraft • (1998) • essay by Jim Turner 3 • Her Misbegotten Son • (1996) • novella by Alan Rodgers 50 • Daoine Domhain • (1992) • novelette by Peter Tremayne 70 • To Mars and Providence • [War of the Worlds: Global Dispatches] • (1996) • short story by Don Webb 81 • Weird Tales • (1984) • short story by Fred Chappell 91 • The Land of the Reflected Ones • (1995) • short story by Nancy A.
