About
Containing more than 35 stories from the early masters of fantasy literature, the narratives here transport the reader to alternate worlds where magic abounds, cosmic terrors lie around the corner and intrepid heroes fight for justice.
Drawing inspiration from Norse, Celtic and Japanese mythologies, the authors collected here span the breadth of the genre. Including tales from William Morris, H. G. Wells, Robert E. Howard and H. P. Lovecraft amongst others, they demonstrate the plethora of imaginative literature that was written in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Many of these tales were foundational works, bringing ideas of the supernatural into the mainstream, and through their efforts creating entirely new genres.
These tales include:
• 'Color Out of Space' by H.P. Lovecraft
• 'The Magic Shop by H.G. Wells
• 'The Phoenix on the Sword' by Robert E. Howard
• 'The Golden Key' by George MacDonald
At once both escapist and astonishingly relevant to modern day concerns, these classic works of fantasy remain essential reading.
