If you sit a spell, and look just so, you might catch a glimpse into another world, or several. Some seem no different from the world you call home, give or take a monster waiting in the shadows, or an avenging angel hidden in plain sight, or an inhuman forest spirit better left undisturbed. Other worlds may be unrecognizably strange, from storybook kingdoms to ash-strewn apocalypse. Familiar or far-flung, all these worlds have certain things in common - plentiful supplies of fear, and a scarcity of happy endings. Come along and lose yourself among their ASSORTED MALIGNANCIES ....Mostra libro
The story is told from the first-person perspective of an unnamed narrator and details his experiences with a scientist named Crawford Tillinghast. Tillinghast creates an electronic device that emits a resonance wave, which stimulates an affected person's pineal gland, thereby allowing them to perceive planes of existence outside the scope of accepted reality. Sharing the experience with Tillinghast, the narrator becomes cognizant of a translucent, inter-dimensional environment that overlaps our own recognized reality. From this perspective, he witnesses hordes of strange and horrific creatures that defy description. Tillinghast reveals that he has used his machine to transport his house servants into the overlapping plane of reality. He also reveals that the effect works both ways, and allows the inter-dimensional creature denizens of the alternate dimension to perceive humans. Tillinghast's servants were attacked and killed by one such inter-dimensional entity, and Tillinghast informs the narrator that it is right behind him. Terrified beyond measure, the narrator pulls out his gun and shoots it at the machine, destroying it. Tillinghast dies immediately thereafter as a result of apoplexy. The police investigate the scene and it is placed on record that Tillinghast murdered the servants in spite of their remains never being found.Mostra libro
