The Shadow over Innsmouth
To save his sanity, he must run from the teeming horde of alien and aberrant shapes. But where does madness leave off and reality begin? Are the monsters that pursue him his real problem?

The Festival
An uncanny, uncozy, unmerry Christmas story.

The Colour out of Space
The great rock falls out of the sky and imbeds itself in the ground, its heart a glowing ball of color. After that, everything changes. A look into the future that menaces all mankind.

Imprisoned with the Pharoahs
A nameless, slithering, unmentionable horror stalks cloven-hoofed through the dark cave of night.

In the Walls of Eryx
Trapped in a building without doors -or walls that he can see. The earthman is in big trouble on Venus.

The Transition of Juan Romero
A Mexican miner investigates a mystery cavern and finds unnameable horrors and monstrosities in the abyss.

The Outsider
He was an outsider -a stranger among those who are still men- and yet in his newfound freedom he can welcome the bitterness of alienage.

All in all a guided tour of the weird and wonderful worlds of the mind of H.P. Lovecraft - the 20th century Edgar Allan Poe.
