Haunting Darkness

PS Publishing will be releasing (or they may already be in stock) three new volumes in their LOVECRAFT ILLUSTRATED series. Pictur'd above is volume eleven, the volume I am really excited about. "The Haunter of the Dark" is probably my favourite story by H. P. Lovecraft. I love its language and its Gothic tone. I love that it is set in Providence, a city I adore. Here is ye press release for this new edition:

The Haunter of the Dark is presented here with the Robert Bloch story that inspired it, The Shambler from the Stars, and Bloch's later rejoinder, The Shadow from the Steeple, which compromise a trilogy of sorts. The Haunter provides a glimpse into a dark sect and their secret laid in an old Providence church. Also included is The Thing on the Doorstep, an identity swapping tale of fiendish proportions and the short but powerful piece, Nyarlathotep, perhaps a prescient and chilling glimpse into our future?
