Shadows of Death — H.P. Lovecraft

Descend into the nerve-shattering realm of America's master of horror, H. P. Lovecraft -- to a dank place where gloomy maelstroms await the unwary, where the unnatural is surpassed only by the unspeakable, and where all pleasure is perverse. Take a chance . . .  all you can lose is your sanity.
