The Legacy of Erich Zann and Other Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos

In the longest of the four Cthulhu Mythos stories in this collection, "The Legacy of Erich Zann, " the violin and the music that the ill-fated musician left behind become the target, some fifteen years later, for a mysterious searcher who will stop at nothing--including murder--to obtain them. Edgar Allan Poe's great detective, Auguste Dupin, who's endangered because of his connection to Zann, must not only figure out who--but why.

In the original novella, "The Seeds from the Mountains of Madness, " it turns out that the famous Captain Oates, whose body was never found after he left Scott's tent in the Antarctic, did not die after all--or, if he did, still retained his ability to function in the world. Sent back to England with a mission to fulfill, Oates seeks the help of an old school friend, a veteran of the Great War--who must also play detective, endeavoring to determine who or what has sent Oates back--and, of course, why!

Also included are two short stories, "The Holocaust of Ecstasy" and "The Truth About Pickman."

Riveting horror--gripping mystery--from a master storyteller.
