Horror stories - Classic and New

H. P. Lovecraft, the American master of fantasy, horror, and science fiction, died 70 years ago at the age of 47. His work is still read today and has influenced generation of writers. Joe Hill is an author carrying on the Lovecraft tradition with his book The Heart Shaped Box. Neil Gaiman calls it “the best debut horror novel since Clive Barker wrote Damnation Game.” Joe Hill is also carrying on a family tradition with his chosen genre. He’s the son of master horror storytellers Stephen King and Tabitha King.
