Drawn to the mysterious legend of a vanished family and strange lights on Tempest Mountain, an investigator ventures into the storm-ravaged ruins of the Martense mansion. But as he digs deeper, he uncovers something far worse than mere superstition—an ancient horror lurking beneath the earth, waiting to strike.

H.P. LOVECRAFT [1890-1937], born in Providence, Rhode Island, was an American writer known for his horror, fantasy, and science fiction stories. Both of Lovecraft's parents suffered from mental illness, which greatly influenced his youth. He began writing at an early age but had a limited readership during his lifetime. Today, Lovecraft is regarded as an icon of popular culture and is considered one of the most influential and innovative horror writers of the 20th century, often compared to Edgar Allan Poe.
