Publisher's Summary: Get ready for more than four hours of eerie literature. This collection includes The Charnel God, The Black Abbot of Puthuum, The Isle of the Torturers, and The Weaver in the Vault. All four stories take place on Zothique, the last remaining continent of earth in the very distant future. The sun has grown dim, the world has grown old, and the remorseless seas have overwhelmed all other continents on the planet. The sciences have been forgotten over long ages while the shadowy arts of sorcery and magic have been reborn. The sun no longer shines with the whiteness of its prime, but is instead dim and tarnished as if covered by a vapor of blood. New stars without number have declared themselves in the heavens, and the shadows of the infinite have fallen closer. Out of the shadows, the older gods long since forgotten have returned to man bearing different names, but the same attributes. The elder demons have also returned on the fumes of evil sacrifices, fostering the primordial sorceries once more. Many were necromancers and magicians of Zothique, and the infamy and marvel of their doings were legends everywhere in the latter days. The result is a dark world of older mystery where luxurious ventures across dim landscapes abound, pitting their strength and wisdom against powerful wizards and alien gods under a dying sun. |
