H. P. Lovecraft's dark vision of Massachusetts as a seat of cosmic weirdness has fascinated readers for more than a century. Witch-troubled Arkham. Drowned Dunwich. Mystic Kingsport. Fish-fouled Innsmouth. And others even more obscure....
This collection of ten new and previously-printed stories explores that dark and embattled region--for here gather the forces of Cthulhu and his otherworldly allies. Here, too, range the sworn enemies of those Elder Gods-the operatives of the Cryptic Events Evaluation Section of the National Reconnaissance Office. Can they stave off Ultimate Night-or must mankind grovel before the Great Old Ones who covet the Earth?
