Skuggan över Innsmouth

ALASTOR PRESS 

“Where does madness end and reality begin? Is it possible that even my latest fears are pure delusion?” Something has happened in the small port town of Innsmouth. The houses stand boarded up, dilapidated and worm-eaten, but strange sounds can be heard behind the thick wooden planks; shuffling footsteps, guttural sounds and inhuman voices. The stench of rotten fish blows in from the sea. What really happened on Devil Reef, what was Captain Obed Marsh doing there? There are stories of horrible things. People have disappeared without a trace, there are rumors of human sacrifice and idolatry. Who knows what gods have now awakened in the dark depths of the sea?

“The Shadow Over Innsmouth” is considered one of Lovecraft’s absolute best horror stories. Here it is presented for the first time in a text-critical edition, with the author’s own notes, crossed-out drafts and comments. The edition also includes Lovecraft's rarely published autobiography, "Some Notes on a Nonentity," as well as his history of the dreaded "Necronomicon." This is a book for anyone who loves horror literature and a priceless treasure for anyone who loves Lovecraft.
