About this title

Synopsis

The decadent, smugly rotting, secret-filled town of Innsmouth is a supreme creation of Howard Philips Lovecraft. It so finely mixes the carnal and the metaphysical that writers continue to take inspiration from it. This new collection contains thirteen tales and three poems tracing the evolution of Innsmouth, from early tales by Dunsany, Chambers, and Cobb, through Lovecraft's The Shadow Over Innsmouth to modern tales by Rainey, Glasby, and others. Edited by Robert Price.

Synopsis

A collection of fantasy stories by writers such as Irvin S. Cobb, concerning the spectre of nuclear weapons, the government cover-up of Innsmouth, the oaths of Dagon, the Innsmouth taint, and the faint sea-borne music from cyclopean Y'ha-nthlei, the many columned city beneath the waves.
