It was a week before the Lhari ship went into warp-drive, and all that time young Bart Steele had stayed in his cabin. He was so bored with his own company that the Mentorian medic was a welcome sight when he came to prepare him for cold-sleep. The Mentorian paused, needle in hand. "Do you wish to be wakened for the time we shall spend in each of the three star systems, sir? You can, of course, be given enough drug to keep you in cold-sleep until we reach your destination."

SUDDEN PANIC ***** It was a week before the Lhari ship went into warp-drive, and all that time young Bart Steele had stayed in his cabin.

But he couldn't risk meeting other passengers. ***** The needle went into his arm. In sudden panic, he realized he was helpless. The ship would touch down on three worlds, and on any of them the Lhari might have his description, or his alias! He could be taken off, unconscious, and might never wake up! He tried to move, to protest, but he couldn't. There was a freezing moment of intense cold and then nothing....***** www.PhoenixPick.com Great Science Fiction at Great Prices.

In an attempt to uncover the mysteries of a seemingly cursed area called the “blasted heath” by the locals, an unnamed narrator sets about questioning the townsfolk as to the location's history.

A fantastic example of Lovecraft's seminal science fiction writing not to be missed by lovers of the genre. Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890–1937) was an American writer of supernatural horror fiction. Though his works remained largely unknown and did not furnish him with a decent living, Lovecraft is today considered to be among the most significant writers of supernatural horror fiction of the twentieth century. Other notable works by this author include: “At the Mountains of Madness”, “The Rats in the Walls”, and “The Shadow Over Innsmouth”. Read & Co. is publishing this classic short story now as part of our “Fantasy and Horror Classics” imprint in a new edition with a dedication by George Henry Weiss.

"Who are you?" Raynor One's voice was harsh, and gave the impression of being loud, though it was not. "David Briscoe." It was the wrong thing. The Mentorian's mouth was taut, forbidding. "Try again. I happen to know that David Briscoe is dead." "I have a message for Raynor Three." The cold gray stare never altered. "On what business?" On a sudden inspiration, Bart said, "I'll tell you that if you can tell me what the Eighth Color is..."
