from the World's greatest horror stories

This book of horror stories was edited by Stphen Jones and Dave Carson. One of the main reasons I bought it was because it had Lovecraft's essay "Supernatural Horror in Literature." It also has works by Poe, Dickens and other great horror writers of the past.

It also has notes on each story by Lovecraft. Lovecraft is considered one of the best historians on the writing of horror stories.

The confederate nation by Emory Thomas

This book is part of the new American nation series. Thomas who also wrote a great biography on Robert E Lee. Thomas tries to show how the rise of the confederate nation (1861-1865) should be compared to nationalism that was rising in Europe in the form of Italy and Germany.

Lost victories: The military genius of Stonewall Jackson by Bevin Alexander

Lost victories by Alexander was written to show how Jackson's tactics were different from Robert E Lees. Jackson had wanted to take the war to the north. He wanted to do this to make the north give up the fight. Alexander covers five battles to show how Jackson's goal was to wipe out the northern army and force the north to surrender.

The age of faith by Will Durant

Supernatural Horror in Literature by H. P. Lovecraft

"THE OLDEST and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown. These facts few psychologists will dispute, and their admitted truth must establish for all time the genuineness and dignity of the weirdly horrible tale as a literary form. Against it are discharged all the shafts of a materialistic sophistication which clings to frequently felt emotions and external events, and of a naïvely insipid idealism which deprecates the æsthetic motive and calls for a didactic literature to "uplift" the reader toward a suitable degree of smirking optimism. But in spite of all this opposition the weird tale has survived, developed, and attained remarkable heights of perfection; founded as it is on a profound and elementary principle whose appeal, if not always universal, must necessarily be poignant and permanent to minds of the requisite sensitiveness."

This is the opening to "Supernatural Horror in Literature" by H. P. Lovecraft. The essay is considered one of the best on the subject. He writes about the major writers of horror stories.

H.P. Lovecraft

H. P. Lovecraft wrote horror stories. While he was alive, he did not publish his stories in the big name magazines. He wrote for weird tales. His writtings have inpspired Stephen King.

I have added a link to the online works of H. P. Lovecraft.
