A search for a sorcerer’s mirror may shatter a man’s mind in this colonial-era thriller by the New York Times-bestselling author of Cardinal Black. In the year 1704, Matthew Corbett is about to go up against an antagonist completely different from any he has faced before. On a trip to Italy to track down Brazio Valeriani and information about the mirror created by his father, the sorcerer Ciro, Matthew and Hudson Greathouse find themselves marooned on a beautiful island known as Golgotha—a place that hides a multitude of secrets and puts both of them at terrible risk. The islanders welcome them with a massive feast—but as the island pulls them deeper into its influence, the castaways struggle to maintain their grip on reality, even their very identity. Matthew must keep his wits about him and solve the mystery enshrouding the other side of the island, where an active volcano looms and an elusive creature lurks… This new novel in the series by the five-time Bram Stoker Award winner is a compelling concoction of history, mystery, adventure, and terror that takes us deeper into the early eighteenth-century world of Matthew Corbett, his compatriots, and his mortal enemies. “This popular series takes us to a long forgotten time with characters who never fail to entertain.” —The Florida Times-Union “The Corbett novels are rich, atmospheric stories, the kind of historical mystery that makes the reader feel as though he really has stepped back in time.”—Booklist
"The Call of Cthulhu" is a Cthulhu Mythos story by H. P. Lovecraft, first published in the February 1928 issue of Weird Tales Magazine.
"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents."
With these iconic words, Lovecraft opens The Call of Cthulhu, a cornerstone of twentieth-century horror and the defining tale of his vast Cthulhu Mythos. Presented as a series of interconnected documents and testimonies, the story follows a professor's descent into the tangled threads of a global mystery—a series of strange dreams, cult activity, and ancient carvings that all point to the same terrifying revelation: the Great Old One known as Cthulhu is real—and not entirely asleep.
