The Horror From the Hills (1963)
Appeared in magazine variant in 2 installments in Weird Tales 1931
One of the early works of pulp terror, The Horror from the Hills is the legendary first tale of the Cthulhu Mythos. It is drawn from the disturbing nightmares of Belknap Long’s friend and colleague, H. P. Lovecraft, the master writer of supernatural fiction of the modern age. A blood-sucking demon from the fourth dimension is mistakenly exhibited in a Manhattan museum and feasts on the blood of its admirers. This influential tale of extraterrestrial terror, a bestseller in the 1930s and 1940s, has been out of print for more than three decades. In a relatively short narrative, Long takes us from the remotest origins of our common culture, to the center of civilized mid-twentieth-century, to the cutting edges of contemporary technology to bring us face to face with horrible bloodsucking malevolence. We are fortunate that Chaugnar Faugn is a creation of fiction, drawn from one dark mind into another’s pen.
Journey into Darkness (1967)
A once handsome youth lay hidden behind a boulder on the isolated New England coast, his body hideously torn and a deep burn penetrating his chest…
The sky darkens and fills with vast shadows. A wild panic sweeps the beach as an alien shape forms in the sky for the barest instant…
They were being attacked, one by one, but how can you defend yourself from an enemy you cannot see, from a danger of unknown origin?
Monster from Out of Time (1970)
It came from the sea—huge, hairy, glowing, terrifying. On the beach people gathered to stare—from a distance—at a creature unlike any that had ever seen.
David, a young scientist, and his pretty girl-friend, Joan, were among them. But David was not content with a distant look. At sundown, when the crowd had gone, David and Joan returned. And that’s when it happened…
A blinding light was all they remembered. Suddenly David and Joan were plunged through time into a world of towering glaciers and pre-historic beings—into an adventure of cataclysmic terror from which there seemed no escape!
