Publisher's Blurb – Lower Cover
'All my stories . . . are based on the fundamental lore or legend that this world was inhabited at one time by another race who, in practising black magic, lost their foothold and were expelled, yet live on outside ever ready to take possession of this earth again' Lovecraft's brilliant creation of an occult dimension of horror swarming with such monstrous entities as dread Cthulhu, Yog-Sothoth, Azathoth and other malign supernatural beings has captured the imagination of millions of readers all over the world. Lin Carter is one of the greatest authorities of our time on adult fantasy and an accomplished author of fantastic fiction in his own right. Here he gives us a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at Lovecraft himself and at the creation of the haunting mythos that must rank as this century's greatest addition to the world's store of supernatural fiction. |
