Publisher's Synopsis
The Mighty Messenger of the Outer Gods, Nyarlathotep has also been known to deliver tidings from the Great Old Ones. He is the only Outer God who chooses to personify his presence on our planet. A god of a thousand forms, he comes to Earth to mock, wreak havoc, and to spur on humanity's self-destructive urges. This volume of stories and poetry illustrates the ubiquitous presence of Nyarlathotep and shows him in several of his thousand masks. Among them, his presence as Nephren-Ka, the dread Black Pharaoh of dynastic Egypt, dominates. The thirteen stories here include a Lin Carter novella. Robert M. Price contributes story prefaces and an introduction.
