Description
This collection of vaguely connected stories combines horror, science fiction, romance and lyrical prose. The stories are linked by the presence of a monstrous, suppressed book whose readers are overcome by fright, madness and spectral tragedy, while an atmosphere of futility and doom pervades the pages like a sweet, insidious poison. Robert W. Chambers’ classic work of weird fiction has been praised as an important landmark in American supernatural fiction, and H. P. Lovecraft, whose own writing was greatly influenced by it, described its cosmic terror as reaching notable heights. The book includes an introduction by David Stuart Davies.
