LISTEN TO AN AUDIO SAMPLE OF
'IMPRISONED WITH THE PHARAOHS'
SYNOPSIS:
H.P. Lovecraft is
considered to be one of the most influential horror and fantasy writers
of the 20th century. His work is frequently compared to the
likes of Edgar Allan Poe, and explored the idea that life is
incomprehensible to human minds and the universe is fundamentally
alien.
This
volume showcases arguable some of Lovecraft’s best work. Imprisoned
with the Pharaohs was originally
written for the world famous escape artist Harry Houdini and was published
under Houdini’s name in the magazine ‘Weird Tales’…
“Both
Weird Tales and Houdini himself were impressed…" by Lovecraft's
work and Imprisoned with the Pharaohs was considered to be… "one
of the best things Lovecraft had written up to that time.... The mystery
and romance of antiquity stirred Lovecraft deeply, and the glamorous
Egyptian setting of this fictionalised narrative touched creative
wellsprings within him, producing one of his most powerful and evocative
pieces.”
- Lin Carter,
Lovecraft: A Look Behind the Cthulhu Mythos
This
release also contains an example of some of Lovecraft’s earliest work
including 'The Alchemist' which was
written when he was only 18 and ‘The Nameless City’ which is the first
story to investigate the powerful Cthulu Mythos for which Lovecraft is
famous.
