This omnibus gathers for the first time all of the author's Cthulhu
Mythos tales, together with two previously unpublished weird
novellas and a large sampling of his fantasy poetry. The
Lovecraftian pieces range from stories written as a teenager in the
1970s, many of which saw serial publication in notable fanzines of
the day, to new pieces composed especially for this collection. The
early works include the acclaimed "Derrick's Ritual" and "The
Summons of Hastur" along with the unpublished "The Door in Lheil."
The two novellas represent the author's efforts at extending the
dreamlike atmospheres and weird states achieved in his shorter
fiction to greater length within modern or postmodern architectonic
structures. "The Green Transfer" is a light fantasy-adventure with
many dream elements; "The More, The Marigold" is a series of
tales-within-tales featuring increasingly strange tableaux. The
fifty-eight poems, gleaned from four decades of poetry writing,
display a variety of forms and styles while exploring themes both
mordant and metaphysical. Free verse and blank verse are found
alongside more traditional meters, evidence of an experimental
approach unusual for the weird genre. Striking, imaginative artwork
by veteran weird artist Denis Tiani embellishes both the cover and
the interior. In sum, this omnibus lives up to its title by
offering unique glimpses into an imaginary terrain that is the
author's own, expressed in an equally unique language and style
that playfully blends elements of the Romantic and Gothic, fantasy
and supernatural horror, Surrealism and the Absurd.
