THE HASHISH MAN: And Other Stories - by Lord Dunsany - Collection of 25 Macabre Tales
THE HASHISH MAN: And Other Stories
By Lord Dunsany
Collection of Short Stories with an Exotic or Macabre Flare
Beyond The Fields We Know...
Lord Dunsany is often referred to as a major inspiration to H. P. Lovecraft and J.R.R. Tolkien - In this collection of twenty-five short stories, Lord Dunsany confirms his place in early twentieth century literature as a master of the macabre, fantasy worlds and strange fiction genres as he weaves together fanciful tales of intrigue and strange adventures in exotic lands - other stories in the collection depict grim and macabre visions of imaginary worlds of bizarre horror...
Lord Dunsany a.k.a. Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett: The 18th Baron Dunsany, was born in London in 1878 and lived in Ireland until his death in 1957.

The R'LYEH TEXT: Hidden Leaves From the Necronomicon - Skoob Books Esoterica
The R'LYEH TEXT: Hidden Leaves From the Necronomicon
Edited by George Hay Introduction by Colin Wilson
Skoob Books Esoterica
Occult Historian Robert Turner tells us there is a race that co-exists unseen alongside humanity - a shadowy, intense and inseparable other world. He has at last unearthed The R'Lyeh Texts which are said to complete the pungent Magickal Grimoire known as the 'Necronomicon'.
Its importance is suggested by the attention, analysis and attempted decipherment by many great thinkers like Colin Wilson and this books editor George Hay.
Colin Wilson links the 'Old Ones', the Sirius Star System, Atlantis, 'Crystal Memory' and Sexual Violence with the dark labyrinth of the 'Necronomicon' - and George Hay relates the Grimoire's influence on the irrational behavior in today's modern societies, and also suggests it is the religious enigma of the great 'Fall' - Researched, transcribed and annotated by Robert Turner - Edited by George Hay - With an Introduction by Colin Wilson..
These are hidden leaves from the 'Necronomicon'.
