Dagon and Other Macabre Tales

Synopsis

Dagon and Other Macabre Tales is a collection of stories by American author H. P. Lovecraft, which also includes his essay on weird fiction, "Supernatural Horror in Literature". It was originally published in 1965 by Arkham House in an edition of 3,471 copies. Unlike some other first editions of Lovecraft collections issued by Arkham House in the mid-sixties, the true first edition is bound with head- and tailbands. The collection was revised in 1986 by S.T. Joshi, replacing the introduction by August Derleth for one by Joshi and another by T. E. D. Klein. The bulk of the tales were also reordered chronologically, while some tales were moved to appendices. It was released in an edition of 4,023 copies, designated a 'corrected 5th printing'. This revised edition was read by Gordon Gould for the American Foundation for the Blind in 1987.
