'Assuming that I was sane and awake, my experience on that night was such as has befallen no man before'

After five years of 'strange amnesia', Nathaniel Wingate Peaslee remains haunted by madness and memories that cannot be real. Desperate for answers he travels to Western Australia, joining an archaeological excavation into Earth's deep past.

Journey with Peaslee to discover his fate in the story described by author Lin Carter as 'Lovecraft's single greatest achievement in fiction'.

H. P. Lovecraft was born in Providence, Rhode Island in 1890. Self-educated, he worked as a freelance writer, journalist and ghostwriter. His best work - including some sixty or so short stories - was published from 1923 onwards in the pulp magazine Weird Tales. He died in 1937, in poverty and virtually unknown; today he is recognized as one of the great masters of supernatural fiction.
