For the 70th anniversary of Penguin Classics, we present the Penguin Orange Collection, celebrating the heritage of Penguin’s iconic book design and twelve influential American literary classics from the breadth and diversity of the Penguin Classics library. These collectible anniversary editions are published in the iconic orange and white tri-band book design, first created in 1935. The modern touch of French flaps signals the signature deluxe design treatment for Penguin Classics today. Frequently imitated and widely influential, Howard Phillips Lovecraft reinvented the horror genre in the twentieth century, discarding ghosts and witches and envisioning instead mankind as a tiny outpost of dwindling sanity in a chaotic and malevolent universe. This definitive edition reveals the development of Lovecraft’s mesmerizing narrative style and establishes him as a canonical—and visionary—American writer.

H.P. Lovecraft
Amerikansk forfatter son skabte hele "Cthulhu" myten, som så mange andre forfattere har bygget videre på. Han levede fra 1890 til 1937 og var venner med Robert E. Howard og Robert Bloch. Blandt hans mest berømte skabelser var bogen "The Necronomicon", en bog han aldrig skrev, men som han beskrev I sine historier og som blev så berygtet at nogle af nutidens forfattere har været nødt til at skrive den. Lovecraft skrev klassiske historier som; "The Rats in the Walls", "The Call of Cthulhu" og "The Shadow over Innsmouth". Historier som ligger til grund for nutidens rollespil og noveller.
