Fungi from Yuggoth, The Sonnet Cycle: A Pulp-Lit Annotated Edition; Contextualized with a Selection of Other Lovecraft Poems - Paperback

by Finn J. D. John (Author), H. P. Lovecraft (Author)

Although he's best known for his works of weird fiction, H.P. Lovecraft for most of his life considered himself primarily a poet. This cycle of 36 classic-form sonnets, infused with his trademark cosmic dread, represents the pinnacle of Lovecraft's career as a poet, and it's his most well-known and thoroughly-studied body of poetry. This volume presents Fungi from Yuggoth in the context of Lovecraft's literary life, with examples of his other poetry. In it, you will discover - or rediscover - the dark humor, bold imagination, and sparkling wit that is Howard Phillips Lovecraft's enduring gift to the world.
