A collection that has analogues is a real gift for all true connoisseurs of horror literature. G.F. Lovecraft, creating his mysterious and frightening worlds, often turned to the experience and ideas of other recognized masters of the "scary story." He enjoyed learning from others and never hid the names of his teachers. The enigmatic Arthur Machen, the frightening Ambrose Beers, the poetic Algernon Blackwood... the real gems of the genre, many of which are unjustly forgotten these days.
