The Colour Out of Space is one of H.P. Lovecraft’s most celebrated tales; a haunting work of artistry featuring Lovecraft's trademark fantastical creatures and supernatural thrills, as well as the horrific and cautionary science-fiction themes that have influenced most of today's writers and filmmakers, including Stephen King, Guillermo del Toro, and Neil Gaiman.

H.P. LOVECRAFT (1890–1937) was one of the greatest of American authors, achieving posthumous fame through his influential works of horror fiction. Virtually unknown and only published in pulp magazines before he died in poverty, he is now regarded as one of the most important 20th-century authors in his genre.
