Beschreibung

'A beautifully told and deeply troubling story that confirms Devlin's place at the forefront of Weird fiction.'

– Ginger Nuts of Horror

Rob is a Crescent kid. Born and raised in the sheltered circle of grey semis, built to house the employees of The City Works and their families. Under the eye of the reclusive Mr Olhouser, the residents of The Crescent go about their work, their lessons and their law, accompanied by the never-ending sound of The Works machinery deep under the ground. When Lee Wrexler moves into The Crescent, he brings with him something dangerous from the outside. Not just a reputation for trouble, but an outside perspective that will show Rob that the home he always thought he had a measure of is a stranger and far more unsettling place than he could have imagined… Malcolm Devlin's Engines Beneath Us is a powerful and unsettling novella of how the individual spirit is crushed by the pressure to conform, from a contemporary master of weird fiction.

    "The Shadow Out of Time" is a Cthulhu Mythos story by H. P. Lovecraft, first published in the June 1936 issue of Astounding Stories. 
    The story follows Professor Nathaniel Wingate Peaslee, who suffers a sudden mental collapse in 1908, losing his memory for five years. During this period, his body is controlled by an unknown intelligence while his own consciousness experiences life in a vast prehistoric era, housed within the body of a member of the Great Race of Yith—an ancient, time-traveling alien species that exchanges minds with beings across time to gather knowledge. 
    "The Shadow Out of Time" is one of Lovecraft’s most ambitious Cthulhu Mythos works, blending cosmic horror with science fiction, and exploring themes of non-linear time, forbidden knowledge, and mankind’s small place in an immense, alien universe.
