Book description
In the longest of the four Cthulhu Mythos stories in this collection,
"The Legacy of Erich Zann," the violin and the music that the
ill-fated musician left behind become the target, some fifteen years
later, for a mysterious searcher who will stop at nothing--including
murder--to obtain them. Edgar Allan Poe's great detective, Auguste
Dupin, who's endangered because of his connection to Zann, must not only
figure out who--but why.
In the original novella, "The Seeds from the Mountains of
Madness," it turns out that the famous Captain Oates, whose body
was never found after he left Scott's tent in the Antarctic, did not
die after all--or, if he did, still retained his ability to function
in the world. Sent back to England with a mission to fulfill, Oates
seeks the help of an old school friend, a veteran of the Great
War--who must also play detective, endeavoring to determine who or
what has sent Oates back--and, of course, why!
Also included are two short stories, "The Holocaust of
Ecstasy" and "The Truth About Pickman."
Riveting horror--gripping mystery--from a master storyteller.
