Dagon (Fantasy and Horror Classics) e-bog

"e;Dagon"e; is a 1917 short story by American author H. P. Lovecraft. One of the first stories he wrote as an adult, it centres around the recollection of a tortured, morphine-addicted narrator who was captured by a German ship during World War I. After escaping his captors, he drifted for many miles before winding up stranded in a hellish place littered with rotting carcasses and home to an ancient horror. A chilling tale by a master story-teller, "e;Dagon"e; is not to be missed by lovers of supernatural fiction and collectors of Lovecraft's seminal work. Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890-1937) was an American writer of supernatural horror fiction. Though his works remained largely unknown and did not furnish him with a decent living, Lovecraft is today considered to be among the most significant writers of supernatural horror fiction of the twentieth century. Other notable works by this author include: "e;The Call of Cthulhu"e;, "e;The Rats in the Walls"e;, and "e;The Shadow over Innsmouth"e;. Read & Co. is publishing this classic short story now as part of our "e;Fantasy and Horror Classics"e; imprint in a new edition with a dedication by George Henry Weiss.
