Steven Philip Jones Knihy

Nové vydání jednoho z nejúspěšnějších děl klasické hrůzostrašné literatury, dodnes jeden z nejznámějších bestsellerů tohoto žánru. Autor důmyslně rozvíjí příběh upíra z karpatských lesů, který těm, jež ho chtějí zneškodnit, způsobí sérii katastrof a mnohá léta sužuje pochmurný kraj kolem polorozpadlého hradu, v němž se usídlil. Vyprávění o jeho řádění je psáno formou deníkových záznamů skupiny přátel, kteří se vydali upíra zničit, a snaží se nevybočovat z mezí reálně vyhlížejících příhod. //zdroj: Bux.cz//

The story unfolds in the eerie, decaying town of Innsmouth, shunned by outsiders and steeped in dark secrets. Robert Loveless, grappling with a family curse of madness, is drawn to this mysterious place. As he explores its crumbling streets, he encounters Zadok Allen, an unstable local who reveals the town's horrific history. Loveless soon realizes that a sinister force from ancient times is at play, and the townspeople are determined to keep him trapped in their nightmarish reality for eternity.

"Lovecraftian weaves classic H.P. Lovecraft characters such as Herbert West and Randolph Carter and weird tales like "The Call of Cthulhu" and "The Colour Out of Space" into a new single universe modern narrative. The first novel in this series introduces The Shipwright Circle, a gaggle of scholarly and creative friends at the Miskatonic University in legend-haunted Arkham, Massachusetts. Here brilliant but neurotic research student Randolph Carter is on a ghastly personal quest, following clues in the fabled Necronomicon to a lost necropolis and a shunned house where terrible secrets lurk beneath its cellar. Meanwhile math whiz Walter Gilman delves into the bloody mysteries surrounding the infamous witch Keziah Mason with help from enfant terrible Richard Upton Pickman, poet/occultist Edward Derby, and charmer Asenath Waite of Innsmouth. And finally medical student Herbert West's inhuman experiments in reanimating the dead take an unexpected turn as a monstrous plague descends on Arkham and a veil cannibal man-beast rampages through its streets."-- Amazon
