The Thing on the Doorstep and Other Weird Stories is an anthology of short works by American author Howard Phillips Lovecraft.
Overview[]
First released in 2001 by Penguin Classics and edited by H. P. Lovecraft scholar S. T. Joshi, The Thing on the Doorstep and Other Weird Stories is Penguin's second collection of Lovecraft's work. Like it’s predecessor, The Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories, the versions of the stories contained within are for the most part the revised editions published earlier by Arkham House, and also edited by Joshi. The exception is At the Mountains of Madness, which is presented in a newly-edited "definitive edition" with an introduction by China Miéville.
