Shadow Over Innsmouth (Fantasy and Horror Classics) e-bog

While on an antiquarian tour of New England, young historian Robert Olmstead happens upon the run-down seaside town of Innsmouth where strangers are entirely unwelcome. The town is inhabited by queer people who seem to adhere to a religious cult and who, Olmstead's investigation threatens to uncover, seem to be hiding a terrible secret from the deep. First published in 1936, "e;The Shadow over Innsmouth"e; is a horror novella by American author H. P. Lovecraft and part of the famous Cthulhu Mythos. 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; and "e;The Rats in the Walls"e;. A fantastic example of horror fiction by master of the genre not to be missed by those who have read and enjoyed other works in the Cthulhu Mythos cycle. Read & Co. is publishing this classic novella now as part of our "e;Fantasy and Horror Classics"e; imprint in a new edition with a dedication by George Henry Weiss.
