The Horror from the Hills (Lost Pulp Classics) - Tapa blanda

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.

Frank Belknap Long was a prolific writer of science fiction, fantasy, and horror from 1924 to his death in 1994. A member of the original Lovecraft Circle, he was good friends with the best writers of his time, including Henry Kuttner and Catherine (C.L.) Moore, Theodore Sturgeon, Hart Crane, and of course, H. P. Lovecraft. He attained significant popularity with his early work, including his masterpiece, The Horror from the Hills.
