Publisher Description
A tale of creeping horror where reality defies logic.
Nathaniel Wingate Peaslee is a professor of political economy at Miskatonic University. Following a fainting spell in 1908, he returns to his senses in 1913 with no recollection of the last five years of his life. As he endeavours to discover the truth about his lost years, he becomes increasingly tormented by vivid and disturbing dreams; dreams that will lead him on a journey through time and space to unlock the secrets of the universe.
“A great way for a novice reader to discover the work of H. P. Lovecraft.” – New York Journal of Books
“Watching Culbard’s fussy gents go stark raving nuts is always a blast, and this one may be his best yet.” – Booklist
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Lovecraftians will hail the publication of H.P. Lovecraft's The Shadow Out of Time, edited by S.T. Joshi and David E. Schultz. Based on the handwritten manuscript that surfaced in 1995 after being lost for 60 years, this edition of Lovecraft's classic tale of time travel and mind transference restores the text as closely as scholarly possible to HPL's original. The editors provide a thorough introduction, annotations and textual notes.
