What if your mind wasn't your own-and never had been?

The Shadow Out of Time by H.P. Lovecraft is a towering tale of speculative horror that fuses science fiction, time travel, and existential dread into one of the most terrifying stories ever penned. When Professor Peaslee loses consciousness during a lecture and wakes up five years later, he finds himself plagued by fragmented dreams of strange beings and impossible worlds.

As he searches for answers, he uncovers a terrifying truth: his consciousness may have been hijacked by the Great Race of Yith-an ancient species capable of transferring minds across time.

This modern edition captures Lovecraft's eerie vision in a refined, accessible format for contemporary readers.

  • Lovecraftian Horror Refined for Modern Readers - A seamless modern translation preserving Lovecraft's haunting tone and philosophical terror.
