  The story revolves around a Bostonian painter named Richard Upton Pickman who creates horrifying images. His works are brilliantly executed, but so graphic that they result in the revocation of his membership in the Boston Art Club and he is shunned by his fellow artists. The narrator is a friend of Pickman, who, after the artist's mysterious disappearance, relates to another acquaintance how he was taken on a tour of Pickman's personal gallery, hidden away in a run-down backwater slum of the city. As the two delved deeper into Pickman's mind and art, the rooms seemed to grow ever more evil and the paintings ever more horrific, ending with a final enormous painting of an unearthly, red-eyed and vaguely canine humanoid balefully chewing on a human victim. A noise sent Pickman running outside the room with a gun while the narrator reached out to unfold what looked like a small piece of rolled paper attached to the monstrous painting. The narrator heard some shots and Pickman walked back in with the smoking gun, telling a story of shooting some rats, and the two men departed.

  Walk the Rugged Paths of an Eternal Landscape.
  
  Thomas Hardy was the poetic soul of the English countryside, a writer who captured the beauty of the natural world alongside the relentless machinery of fate. This comprehensive collection brings together his entire literary output—his sweeping novels of "Wessex," his evocative short stories, and the profound poetry that occupied his later years. Hardy remains the master of the "Pastoral Tragedy," exploring the clash between ancient traditions and the encroaching modern world.
  
  This collection explores the pillars of Hardy's enduring genius:
  
  The Architect of Wessex: Immerse yourself in the most famous fictional region in literature—a richly detailed version of South-West England where the landscape itself becomes a living character.
  
  The Struggle Against Fate: Experience his deep investigations into "The Immanent Will," where men and women of high character find themselves caught in the gears of social convention and cosmic chance.
  
  The Vanishing Rural World: Discover a poignant record of a way of life under threat, capturing the folklore, labor, and changing seasons of the English peasantry during the Industrial Revolution.
  
  Masterful Psychological Realism: Delve into complex portraits of love, marriage, and ambition, written with a bold honesty that challenged the moral boundaries of his time.
  
  Hardy's work serves as a bridge between the structured morality of the 19th century and the existential questions of the 20th. His lyrical prose and unflinching look at the human condition make this volume an essential cornerstone for any library of classic literature, British history, and timeless poetry.
