This weekend spotlights a couple of horror books that have their roots in the past. One is an anthology plays in the sandbox of H. P. Lovecraft while tomorrow’s post is about a collection of vampire short horror stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
First up is an Ellen Datlow edited anthology of modern writers telling tales based upon the rich work of horror master H. P. Lovecraft.
