There are places beyond human understanding, where ancient beings stir, impossible geometries hide, and forbidden knowledge comes at a terrible price. From haunted lakes and blighted forests to extra-dimensional horrors and the infamous Witch House of Arkham, these seven tales explore the terrifying insignificance of mankind before the unknown. Including: The Spirits of the Lake by Alonzo Deen Cole, The House of the Worm by Mearle Prout, The Hounds of Tindalos by Frank Belknap Long, The Scourge of B'Moth by Bertram Russell, The Warder of Knowledge by Richard F.

Bertram Russell’s The Scourge of B’Moth, first published in the May 1929 edition of Weird Tales Magazine, is a Cthulhu Mythos novelette—a tale of encroaching dread, in which the civilized world finds itself stalked by something ancient, primal, and hideously patient. What begins as a puzzling psychiatric case soon unfolds into a vision of cosmic and biological terror: a malign force rising from the depths, insinuating itself into the minds of men, and calling all life backward—away from order, reason, and restraint, and toward the law of fang, jungle, and abyss.
