Overview[]
| “ | Some might be tempted to think of H. P. Lovecraft’s tale ‘The Curse of Yig’ as a minor effort — but they’d be wrong! You can judge the power of a text by the extent to which it has inspired subsequent writers to embellish or imitate it. And so powerful has this brief story proven itself that it has spawned an amazing number of squirming and venomous offspring, most or all of which are compiled in this volume. | „ | |
