Sinossi

In "The Firing Line," Robert W. Chambers crafts a gripping narrative set against the backdrop of the turbulent years leading up to World War I. The book combines elements of psychological drama and romantic intrigue, exploring the interplay between love and the harsh realities of conflict. Chambers employs a rich, lyrical prose style that reflects the emotional depth of his characters and the moral ambiguities of their choices, embodying the existential dilemmas faced by a generation on the brink of war. The novel serves as both a poignant commentary on the fragility of human connections and a prelude to the societal upheaval that was to unfold. Robert W. Chambers, an influential American author and artist, was familiar with the intricacies of human emotion, which is evident in this work. His diverse literary output and experiences in the vibrant cultural milieu of the early 20th century informed his narrative techniques and thematic choices. Chambers' background in the arts and literature, combined with his keen observations of societal transformations, uniquely positioned him to capture the complexities of love amidst chaos. "The Firing Line" is essential reading for anyone interested in the interplay of personal and historical narratives. Its blend of romance and commentary resonates with contemporary readers, offering a compelling exploration of how love and conflict shape the human experience. This novel is a testament to Chambers' literary prowess and remains a vital contribution to the canon of American literature.

    MESSAGES: The message is hand written on a scrap of paper stuffed in an envelope. It reads: 'Are you blind to the truth?' I study the shaky capitals, attempting to winkle out some clue about the sender, then I stow it in the filing drawer with the others. The messages are delivered when I'm out. They lie on the doormat waiting for me in their cheap manila envelopes, the flap tucked in rather than stuck down.

    "The Cthulhu Mythos" is a system of cosmic entities, forbidden books, and macabre locations created by the American author, H. P. Lovecraft, born August 20th 1890, in Providence, Rhode Island. 
    This is our second Cthulhu Mythos collection. Our first collection adheres to the work, "Lovecraft: A Look Behind the Cthulhu Mythos" by Lin Carter, whose requirement for including a story was that it must "present us with a significant item of information about the background lore of the Mythos, thus contributing important information to a common body of lore." 
    The Complete Cthulhu Mythos expands on the above, adding Dagon, Nyarlathotep, The Colour Out of Space, and The Mound. The collection also includes several updated recordings: The Nameless City, The Hound, The Festival, History of the Necronomicon, a dramatic rendition of The Dunwich Horror, and The Shadow over Innsmouth.
