The series of Complete Works of the unparalleled master of horror and the bizarre H.P. LOVECRAFT from Oxy publications continues with the stories: The Shadow Over Innsmouth and The Cats of Ulthar. The entire series of Complete Works will be released in 15 volumes by Oxy publications. So far, the first 8 volumes have been published. Howard Phillips Lovecraft was born on August 20, 1890, in Providence, Rhode Island. Introverted, sickly, and a lover of literature – but also of astronomy – from a very young age, he spent long periods of his life isolated from the outside world. He once said: "All my stories are based on the fundamental assumption that common human laws and emotions have no validity or significance in the cosmos."
