Book Description

Three times Randolph Carter dreamed of the marvellous city, and three times was he snatched away while still he paused on the high terrace above it.? In a world beyond the walls of sleep, Randolph Carter goes in search of an opulent and mysterious sunset city. First, Carter must go to Kadath, home of the Gods, where he hopes to be guided to the city of his dreams. But nobody has ever been to Kadath, and nobody knows how to get there. Battling moon-beasts, night-gaunts and zoogs, Carter journeys through the dangerous and spectacular climes of the Dreamlands in search of unknown Kadath. With the help of the cats of Ulther and a troop of ghouls in the Vale of Pnath, Carter does finally reach Kadath but the Gods are nowhere to be seen. In this masterful adaptation of Lovecraft's classic novella, I. N. J. Culbard captures Randolph Carter's journey through the labyrinthine corridors of sleep in beautiful, gripping detail.

About the Author

The original author of At the Mountains of Madness. Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1[zasłonięte]890-19) was born and raised in Providence, Rhode Island. A child prodigy, Lovecraft developed an early interest in chemistry and astronomy, although his sickly disposition and a history of night terrors prevented him from completing his schooling. Periods of nervous breakdown and depression followed, contributing to the cynical and unsettling world view displayed in his writing. Initially a poet and prodigious letter writer, Lovecraft started writing fiction in his twenties. Although his work was not widely read during his lifetime, Lovecraft is now recognised as one of the 20th century's most influential writers of the macabre.
