The Case of Charles Dexter Ward
Author: H P Lovecraft
Cover Illustration: Stanley Mouse
 
A Nameless Terror Crossed the Centuries . . .
. . . and engulfed the soul of Charles Dexter Ward, a brilliant young New England Antiquarian. Evil spirits, dark gods whose memory lived on in half-understood legends and fear-stricken superstitious whispers lurked in the vile catacombs beneath the surface of a blighted land. It was these loathsome horrors whom Ward was driven to loose on a defenceless world - driven by the all-powerful shade of a dead ancestor who had mastered the blackest arts of magic. Now Ward too needed knowledge of these dark mysteries. To get it, he had to pay in blood. Human blood.
