Publisher's Synopsis
In the tradition of William Hope Hodgson's Carnacki, and Algernon Blackwood's John Silence, here are four interlinked cases from the manuscripts of the late Professor Palmer Hopkins, correspondent of H.P. Lovecraft and friend of August Derleth.From the Daimones Chtholou lying behind the powwows of Pennsylvania witch doctors, to the devils and lightless angels invoked by the late Stephen Vincent Benet, from the unquiet spirits of the Dutch and Indian War tracked by Professor Hopkins and Wilfred Blanch Talman, to the mysterious voyageur of the Old People tracked by Hopkins and Augie Derleth, these cases search out the dangerous reality of Lovecraft's Mythos.
