The Dreams in the Witch House
ByPublisher Description
What if the boundaries between math, magic, and madness no longer held?
In The Dreams in the Witch House, H.P. Lovecraft explores the terrifying overlap of rational science and occult dread. Walter Gilman rents a room in Arkham's most cursed dwelling-the old Witch House-where seventeenth-century witch Keziah Mason once vanished through a crack in the walls. But Gilman's curiosity in complex mathematics and folklore draws him into a realm where space folds unnaturally, time collapses, and creatures beyond comprehension lurk.
This modern edition offers a polished and accessible reading experience while preserving the intense psychological horror and cosmic terror that define Lovecraft's work.
What You'll Discover in This Modern Translation:
- A Story Where Science Meets Sorcery - Witness the terrifying consequences of treating occult magic like an equation to solve.
- The Witch Keziah Mason and Brown Jenkin - Encounter one of Lovecraft's most haunting duos: a spectral witch and her grotesque, rat-like familiar.
- Dreamscapes Turned to Nightmares - Slip between reality and supernatural dimensions where no logic can save you.
- Themes of Madness, Isolation, and Forbidden Knowledge - Explore what happens when intellect opens doors best left shut.
- A Foundational Tale in the Cthulhu Mythos - An essential entry in the canon of cosmic horror, reimagined for modern readers.
If you've ever wondered what lies at the intersection of nightmare and logic, The Dreams in the Witch House offers an answer you'll never forget.
