H. P. Lovecraft (1890–1937) has been hailed as one of the most important and influential authors of supernatural fiction of the 20th century. A life-long resident of Providence, Rhode Island, Lovecraft's tales are often set in the fear-haunted towns of an imaginary area of Massachusetts, or in the cosmic vistas that exist beyond space and time. Since his untimely death, he has been acknowledged as an American master of fantasy fiction, second only to Edgar Allan Poe. Les Edwards is an illustrator known for his work in the horror, science fiction, and fantasy genres who has won the British Fantasy Society award for Best Artist seven times, and was awarded the World Fantasy Award in 2008. He has done numerous illustrations for Robert E. Howard's Conan stories and Terry Pratchett's Discworld series, and for books by such authors as Anne McCaffrey, Frank Herbert, and Jack Vance. Stephen Jones is an acclaimed horror anthologist and the winner of three World Fantasy Awards, four Horror Writers Association Bram Stoker Awards, and three International Horror Guild Awards as well as being a 20-time recipient of the British Fantasy Award and a Hugo Award nominee.
