For fans of classic weird fiction, the Masters of the Weird Tale series from Centipede Press is a dream come true. This line of luxurious limited editions celebrates the pioneering authors who helped define the genres of horror, the supernatural, and the strange tale.

With gorgeous illustrations, premium materials, and authoritative texts compiled from decades of research, each oversized tome does justice to the life's work of a master storyteller. The books provide the definitive collected tales, short stories, novels, and essays, many appearing in hardcover for the first time.

Twenty titles have been released so far including H.P. Lovecraft, Algernon Blackwood, Arthur Machen, and William Hope Hodgson. Future volumes are planned for E. F. Benson, Terry Lamsley, and M. R. James among others.

What makes these editions so covetable are the astonishing production values. The chunky volumes are printed in highly limited runs. Premium endpapers lead into creamy, thick archival paper filled with unsettling full-page woodcuts, etchings, and paintings by famous artists.
