"Through narrow, badly lit streets, past darkened windows, beneath the gaze of shifting shadows and the sound of unseen flying things, these stories will not only haunt you . . . they'll stalk you. They're disturbing in a way that much horror is not, in that they get under your skin without you realising. Their influence remains long after the cover is closed, and it's the fact that their images appear at unexpected moments that make them so effective. Haunting. Stalking . . . Wherever he may be now -- on the plains of Kadath, perhaps, or exploring those terrible Mountains for real -- I believe that the master himself would be proud."
--Tim Lebbon, author of As the Sun Goes Down and Naming of Parts
