Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring themes of horror and cosmic fear, Robert W. Chambers' early work presents a series of interconnected short stories centered around a cursed book that induces madness and tragedy. Despite some unevenness and stylistic flourishes reminiscent of the 1890s, the collection achieves a haunting atmosphere. "The Yellow Sign" stands out as a particularly powerful tale, featuring a chilling churchyard sentinel with a grotesque appearance. Lovecraft's introduction highlights the unique blend of fear and artistry present in Chambers' writing.
