(Mass Market Paperback - Reprint)
On a dark, stormy night, master of the macabre H.P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard, creator of the legendary Conan the Barbarian, face the ancient god Cthulhu, the most dangerous force in the cosmos. And only they can stop him.
In 1935, a reclusive writer named H.P. Lovecraft travels from Providence to Cross Plains, TX, for a meeting with fellow writer Robert E. Howard and a rendezvous with terror. Out of the elements made famous by these early crafters of pulp fantasy, coauthors Barbour and Raleigh fashion a fast-paced, no-holds-barred first novel of Gothic horror and fantasy adventure that pays eloquent tribute to a body of fantastic literature and the writers who shaped it. Though particularly appealing to fans of Conan and Cthulhu, this story of courage in the face of unspeakable horror should attract a wide readership. Highly recommended.
