Inhaltsangabe

Voted one of the top ten Science Fiction and Fantasy Books of 2001 by Cinescape Magazine. "The Shadow out of Time" is H. P. Lovecraft's last major story. It was first published in Astounding Stories for June 1936. And yet, this text has never been published as Lovecraft wrote it—until now. The recent discovery of Lovecraft's handwritten manuscript allows readers to appreciate this magnificently cosmic story exactly as originally written. All previous editions of the story contain hundreds of serious errors, including errors in paragraphing, omissions and mistranscriptions of many words and passages, and erroneous punctuation. Leading Lovecraft scholars S. T. Joshi and David E. Schultz have provided an exhaustive introduction and commentary on the story, elucidating names, places and other elements in this richly evocative story. A must for all devotees of Lovecraft and weird fiction!

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

H. P. Lovecraft (1890-1937) was an American writer whose stories of cosmic horror transformed twentieth-century supernatural fiction. Writing primarily for pulp magazines such as Weird Tales, Lovecraft created a mythic universe in which ancient and incomprehensible beings exist beyond human understanding. His works-including The Call of Cthulhu, The Dunwich Horror, At the Mountains of Madness, and The Shadow over Innsmouth-have had a profound influence on modern horror, fantasy, and science fiction.
