Synopsis: H. P. Lovecraft was a writer who would one day become famous for his eerie tales of the macabre-filled with ancient beings who ruled the world millions of years before the appearance of the human race. Robert E. Howard was a writer whose barbarian character Conan would become a literary legend-a lone hero in a primitive world overrun by humankind's oldest and strongest enemies. But few know the real story that inspired these masters of pulp fiction. The story that begins on a dark and stormy night. A night tortured by the cries of an inhuman infant. A child who would open the gates to the most dangerous force in the cosmos-the ancient god Cthulhu... And only two men-two eccentric writers-can stop him. "There's enough adventure and paranormal weirdness here to satisfy any horror buff, with a rip-roaring subterranean confrontation at the climax."
