Hercule Poirot made his first public appearance in 1920 at the age, one guesses, of about 60. He finally breathed his metaphorical last in 1975 at the age of maybe 75 or 80. And in that short span of time - either 55 years or about 20, depending on how you count it - Poirot became one of England's most profitable and ubiquitous export commodities. But it's very clear that his creator, Agatha Christie, did not at first intend for it to go that way. She made a very definite attempt to end the Hercule Poirot saga in the mid-1920s, when his story consisted simply of three novels and 25 short stories. It is that first Hercule Poirot bibliography, the one Christie clearly intended to leave for posterity when she typed up the last few words of "The Crag in the Dolomites" sometime in 1924, that is presented in this collection.

H. P. Lovecraft nos habla en este ensayo de «la emoción más antigua y poderosa de la humanidad»: el miedo. De todo lo que nos aterra, nos dice Lovecraft, es lo desconocido lo que nos atrae con más fuerza.El gran maestro del terror analizó el género en este ensayo publicado en 1927 examina en este magnífico texto las raíces del género en la novela gótica y traza su desarrollo a través de autores como Nathaniel Hawthorne, Edgar Allan Poe o Ambrose Bierce. Por otro lado, el autor bautiza en su ensayo a los cuatro «maestros contemporáneos» del terror: Arthur Machen, Lord Dunsany, Algernon Blackwood y M. R. James.«Palabras que nos emocionan. Palabras que nos alteran. Palabras que modifican nuestro metabolismo: haciéndonos llorar, alcanzando a conseguir que el entorno en el que las leemos ya no nos resulte seguro o previniéndonos de lo que leeremos en la página siguiente.»Del prólogo de Javier Aparicio Maydeu

Although he's best known for his works of weird fiction, H.P. Lovecraft for most of his life considered himself primarily a poet. This cycle of 36 classic-form sonnets, infused with his trademark cosmic dread, represents the pinnacle of Lovecraft's career as a poet, and it's his most well-known and thoroughly-studied body of poetry. This volume presents Fungi from Yuggoth in the context of Lovecraft's literary life, with examples of his other poetry. In it, you will discover - or rediscover - the dark humor, bold imagination, and sparkling wit that is Howard Phillips Lovecraft's enduring gift to the world.
