Shadow Out of Time (Fantasy and Horror Classics) e-bog

The Great Race of Yith are an extra-terrestrial species who travel through space and time by swapping their bodies with those of distant hosts. Though their motives are mostly academic, they were eventually forced to use their abilities to escape annihilation by swapping bodies with an ancient race that once resided on planet earth, 250 million years ago. When American citizen Nathaniel Wingate Peaslee has his body swapped with an earth-dwelling Yithian from the distant past, his life is changed forever. A fantastic example of classic sci-fi by master of the genre, H. P. Lovecraft. "e;The Shadow Out of Time"e; is not to be missed by those who have read and enjoyed other works by Lovecraft. 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 work now as part of our "e;Fantasy and Horror Classics"e; imprint in a new edition with a dedication by George Henry Weiss.
