The Case of Charles Dexter Ward
Author(s): Ramsay H.P.: Campbell Lovecraft
'The Apollo choices have been masterful. The list is thought-provoking, eye-opening, inspired and inspiring' The Big Issue. Written in 1927, but never published in Lovecraft's lifetime, this is the iconic American author's exploration of a mind destroyed by obsession. The novel tells the story of Charles Dexter Ward through letters, documents and other 'historical sources'. A young intellectual, Charles is lured to what his doctors believe to be his doom by his obsession with an ancestor, a reputed necromancer.

'Lovecraft is a dark and baroque prince. I think it is beyond doubt that H. P. Lovecraft has yet to be surpassed as the twentieth century's greatest practitioner of the classic horror tale' Stephen King.
