Description
Twenty stories from the pen of the author famous for Psycho, who at the beginning of his literary career wrote shorter prose in the spirit of H. P. Lovecraft. The foundation of the anthology consists of stories from the 1930s that were published in the pages of Weird Tales. In them, Bloch gradually enriched the evolving Lovecraftian mythology with a new element – the mysterious tome De Vermis Mysteriis, now an integral part of this cultural phenomenon. The heroes of Bloch's stories are often scholars, travelers, and adventurers who, despite all risks, strive to uncover the greatest mysteries of human existence. The early atmospheric texts are complemented by several longer, colorful, and more dynamic works from the 1940s and 1950s, creating a macabre compendium that no lover of dark fantasy from the first half of the 20th century should miss. With a foreword by Robert M. Price and an afterword by Lin Carter.
