H.P. Lovecraft's stories are available in numerous overlapping collections and from many publishers, a fact attesting the still-burgeoning tsunami of interest in his seminal work. Lovecraft was both a connoisseur and a historian of what he called spectral fiction or weird fiction. He was mightily influenced by various elements of the work of his favorite authors in the genre. His faux-documentary style on display in The Statement of Randolph Carter, The Call of Cthulhu, and At the Mountains of Madness reflects his youthful absorption in scientific texts and detective fiction. From Lord Dunsany he learned the Irish baron's craft of telling dream-like fables set in imaginary worlds. Algernon Blackwood's stories inspired his sense of the uncanny presence of the menacing shadows of Infinity. He hybridized Dunsany's gift for creating fictive pantheons of fantastic deities with Arthur Machen's hints of elder races hiding or imprisoned away from the complacent ignorance of modern men, yet ready to re-emerge, to our peril. This heady mixture produced his disorienting philosophy of cosmic despair in the face of man's ultimate insignificance. And this philosophy he embodied in parables of haunting but enthralling horror.
