Synopsis
Descend to the depths of primal horror with this chilling collection of original stories drawn from H. P. Lovecraft's shocking, terrifying, and eerily prescient Cthulhu Mythos.
In twenty-one dark visions, a host of outstanding contemporary writers tap into our innermost fears, with tales set in a misbegotten new world that could have been spawned only by the master of the macabre himself, H. P. Lovecraft. Inside you'll find: "Details" by China Miéville: A curious boy discovers that within the splinters of cracked wood or the tangle of tree branches, the devil is in the details. "Visitation" by James Robert Smith: When Edgar Allan Poe arrives, a callow man finally gets what he always wanted--and what he may eternally despise. "Meet Me on the Other Side" by Yvonne Navarro: A couple in love with terror travels beyond their wildest dreams--and into their nightmares. "A Fatal Exception Has Occured At . . ." by Alan Dean Foster: Internet terrorism extends far beyond transmitting threats of evil.
