"From the fictional land of Carcosa that inspired the HBO show True Detective to
H. P. Lovecraft’s accursed New England hills, this collection features
some of the most legendary landscapes of the cosmic horror genre. The
collection includes the following twelve stories:
Edgar Allan Poe, ""MS. Found in a Bottle""
Bram Stoker, ""The Squaw""
Ambrose Bierce, ""Moxon's Master""
Ambrose Bierce, ""The Damned Thing""
Ambrose Bierce, ""An Inhabitant of Carcosa""

Algernon Blackwood, ""The Willows""

Walter de la Mare, ""Seaton's Aunt""
H. P. Lovecraft, ""The Colour Out of Space""
“The
true weird tale has something more than a secret murder, bloody bones,
or a sheeted form clanking chains. An atmosphere of breathless and
unexplainable dread of outer, unknown forces must be present; a hint of
that most terrible conception of the human brain—a malign and
particular
suspension or defeat of those fixed laws of Nature which are
our only
safeguard against the assaults of chaos and the daemons of
unplumbed
space.”—H. P. Lovecraft"
