The story takes place in Providence, Rhode Island and revolves around the Church of Starry Wisdom. The cult uses an ancient artifact known as the Shining Trapezohedron to summon a terrible being from the depths of time and space. The Shining Trapezohedron was discovered in Egyptian ruins, in a box of alien construction, by Professor Enoch Bowen before he returned to Providence, Rhode Island in 1844. Members of the Church of Starry Wisdom in Providence would awaken the Haunter of the Dark, an avatar of Nyarlathotep, by gazing into the glowing crystal. Summoned from the black gulfs of chaos, this being could show other worlds, other galaxies, and the secrets of arcane and paradoxical knowledge; but he demanded monstrous sacrifices, hinted at by disfigured skeletons that were later found in the church. The Haunter of the Dark was banished by light and could not cross a lighted area

Howard Phillips Lovecraft was an American author of fantasy, horror and science fiction. He is notable for blending elements of science fiction and horror; and for popularizing "cosmic horror": the notion that some concepts, entities or experiences are barely comprehensible to human minds, and those who delve into such risk their sanity. Lovecraft has become a cult figure in the horror genre and is noted as creator of the "Cthulhu Mythos," a series of loosely interconnected fictions featuring a "pantheon" of nonhuman creatures, as well as the famed Necronomicon, a grimoire of magical rites and forbidden lore. His works typically had a tone of "cosmic pessimism," regarding mankind as insignificant and powerless in the universe. Lovecraft's readership was limited during his life, and his works, particularly early in his career, have been criticized as occasionally ponderous, and for their uneven quality. Nevertheless, Lovecraft's reputation has grown tremendously over the decades, and he is now commonly regarded as one of the most important horror writers of the 20th Century, exerting an influence that is widespread, though often indirect.

Randolph Carter dreams three times of a majestic sunset city, but each time he is abruptly snatched away before he can see it up close. When he prays to the gods of dream to reveal the whereabouts of the phantasmal city, they do not answer, and his dreams of the city stop altogether. Undaunted, Carter resolves to go to Kadath, where the gods live, to beseech them in person. However, no one has ever been to Kadath and none even knows how to get there. In dream, Randolph Carter descends "the seventy steps to the cavern of flame" and speaks of his plan to the priests Nasht and Kaman-Thah, whose temple borders the Dreamlands. The priests warn Carter of the great danger of his quest and suggest that the gods withdrew his vision of the city on purpose.

Questa edizione tradotta di FUNGI FROM YUGGOTH include: Testo originale a fronteNuova traduzione ineditaCommenti e illustrazioni originaliNella riscoperta quasi compulsiva, sempre più estesa, a volte anche arbitraria e disinformata, di cui Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890-1937) gode da ormai qualche decennio, sono rimaste un po' in sordina le sue poesie. Si tratta di 36 sonetti, scritti con tutti i crismi, ossia in 14 versi con la metrica e le rime, a volte baciate e a volte alternate. Il titolo della raccolta è totalmente lovecraftiano: Fungi from Yuggoth.Questa edizione offre i testi originali inglesi accanto a una traduzione in versi liberi, accompagnata da un breve commento. In Fungi c'è l'anima di Lovecraft. Composta quando già avevano già preso vita i miti di Cthulhu, tra il 1929 e il 1930, questa raccolta di poesie presenta situazioni che gli appassionati di HPL conoscono bene.Nei 36 sonetti da Yuggoth si intrecciano tre livelli: i romantici paesaggi del New England, paesaggi orientali da Mille e una notte, e paesaggi cosmici tra l'affascinante e l'inquietante. Le atmosfere sono crepuscolari, oniriche, incerte, dato che i tre tipi di paesaggio tendono a sovrapporsi e fondersi, e sfumano l'uno nell'altro anche i diversi sentimenti: ammirazione, desiderio, nostalgia, ironia, inquietudine, terrore.

Howard Phillips Lovecraft - known as H.P.Lovecraft (August 20, 1890 - March 15, 1937) was an American author who achieved posthumous fame through his in uential works of horror ction. He was virtually unknown and published only in pulp magazines before he died in poverty, but he is now regarded as one of the most signi cant 20th-century authors in his genre. Lovecraft was born in Providence, Rhode Island where he spent most of his life. Lovecraft was never able to support himself from earnings as author and editor. He saw commercial success increasingly elude him in this latter period, partly because he lacked the con dence and drive to promote himself. He subsisted in progressively straitened circumstances in his last years; an inheritance was completely spent by the time that he died at age 46.According to Joyce Carol Oates, Lovecraft - as with Edgar Allan Poe in the 19th century - has exerted "an incalculable influence on succeeding generations of writers of horror fiction". Horror, fantasy, and science fiction author Stephen King called Lovecraft "the twentieth century's greatest practitioner of the classic horror tale." King has made it clear in his semi- autobiographical non-fiction book Danse Macabre that Lovecraft was responsible for King's own fascination with horror and the macabre, and was the single largest figure to influence his fiction writing.This classic title has been published by RADLEY BOOKS.
