Through Angles Darkly: Works Inspired by H. P. Lovecraft is a collection of Lovecraftian fiction by American author and occultist Don Webb. It was published by Hippocampus Press in August 2014; both paperback and digital editions were released.
Overview[]
“ | For nearly thirty years, Don Webb has been writing tales and poems that fuse the essence of H. P. Lovecraft’s cosmic vision with his own unique and idiosyncratic view of life and the universe. In this volume, which selects the best of Webb’s Lovecraftian writing, we find such distinctive stories as “The Man Who Scared Lovecraft” (about an obscure pulp writer whose work Lovecraft may or may not have revised, with baleful results), “The Megalith Plague” (about bizarre goings-on in a remote Texas locale), “The Doom That Came to Devil’s Reef” (in which a little-known cousin of Lovecraft suffers a hideous fate), and “Casting Call” (about strange doings on the set of Rod Serling’s Night Gallery TV show). The twenty other works in this book, in both prose and verse, vivify the Lovecraftian universe with the terror, perversity, and black humor born of Webb’s fertile and perverse imagination. | „ | |
