Herbert West: Reanimator (Dodo Press)
If you're looking up this story, you don't need an intro to Howard Phillips Lovecraft, but in case you stumbled in here by accident, he was a writer who lived from 1890-1937.  He created the Cthulu mythos and invited other writers to use his creations including Yog-Soggoth and the Necronomicon.  He is one of the grandmasters of horror literature, and his influence is still strong in the field.--This text refers to an alternatePaperbackedition.
