Donald Wandrei Bücher

Donald Wandrei is recognized as a key figure in the evolution of weird fiction, often seen as a natural successor to H.P. Lovecraft. His works explore cosmic horror and the unknown, delving into themes of existential dread and the limits of human understanding. Through innovative storytelling and a unique style, Wandrei builds on Lovecraft's legacy, contributing significantly to the genre and influencing future writers. This collection showcases his significant contributions and the depth of his imagination.

Famed pulp writer Don Wandrei wrote what we could call the first "Mythos" novel among H.P. Lovecraft's associates, although it wasn't published until years later, as "The Web of Easter Island," from Arkham House. This volume is the original form of that novel, accompanied by Wandrei's mainstream novel, never published during his lifetime. It's a remarkably "modern" novel, which wouldn't pass the censorial attitudes of the 1930s when it was written. Illustrated by Wandrei's friend Rodger Gerberding. With an introduction and notes on the text by S.T. Joshi. With cover art by Jon Arfstrom
