Fritz Leiber was one of the most famous fantasy and SF writers of the century, the author of many classics, including the popular Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser fantasy series. In 1936, young Leiber, then in correspondence with the famous writer H.P. Lovecraft, drafted this eerie story.
Now Tor is pleased to present in print for the first time this short novel of cosmic dread and Lovecraftian horror, lost since the 1950s.
