Synopsis

In "Special Messenger," Robert W. Chambers crafts a gripping narrative that intertwines themes of love, betrayal, and the psychological labyrinth of European society at the turn of the 20th century. The novella is notable for its atmospheric prose, characterized by lyrical descriptions and an intricate psychological depth that explores the inner turmoil of its characters. The story unfolds against a backdrop of Parisian elegance and existential dread, reflecting the complexities of the human condition in a post-Victorian context where traditional values are challenged by modern existential inquiries. Robert W. Chambers, an influential figure in the literary scene of his time, is best known for his pioneering works in the genre of weird fiction and his ability to beautifully meld romance with darker, psychological elements. His experiences in the bohemian circles of Paris and his engagement with various artistic movements heavily influenced the thematic concerns seen in "Special Messenger," allowing him to delve into the intricacies of human relationships amidst the chaos of societal transformation. This novella is a compelling read for those interested in the crossroads of psychological insight and lyrical storytelling. Chambers' highly evocative style and masterful exploration of human emotions make "Special Messenger" a must-read for fans of literary fiction and psychological narratives alike.

    Whispers of their latest diabolical scheme have reached my ears, and now it's up to me to stop them. But my hands are tied (literally) by the cursed rusane around my neck, rendering my magic useless against them. 
    As if that wasn't bad enough, turns out my own family is part of this wicked group. Wonderful.

    Now I have to put my shattered heart on the back burner as I try to take down The Forsaken. 
    But I'm a stubborn beast, so I can't let this go. Not even The Forsaken or Rita can stand in my way of bringing Dash back to me, consequences be damned. 
    I will get him back. And that's a promise.

    The Colour out of Space

    "The Colour Out of Space" is a science fiction/horror short story by American author H. P. Lovecraft, written in March 1927. In the tale, an unnamed narrator pieces together the story of an area known by the locals as the "blasted heath" in the wild hills west of the fictional town of Arkham, Massachusetts. The narrator discovers that many years ago a meteorite crashed there, poisoning every living being nearby; vegetation grows large but foul tasting, animals are driven mad and deformed into grotesque shapes, and the people go insane or die one by one. Lovecraft began writing "The Colour Out of Space" immediately after finishing his previous short novel, The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, and in the midst of final revision on his horror fiction essay "Supernatural Horror in Literature". Seeking to create a truly alien life form, he drew inspiration from numerous fiction and nonfiction sources. First appearing in the September 1927 edition of Hugo Gernsback's science fiction magazine Amazing Stories, "The Colour Out of Space" became one of Lovecraft's most popular works, and remained his personal favorite of his short stories. It was adapted into feature films in 1965, 1987, 2010, and 2019
