In
The Case of Charles Dexter Ward Lovecraft puts forth one of the most horrifying concepts
of his career—a trio of grave-robbers are systematically rifling the tombs of the
world’s most brilliant men—men who also possessed occult and arcane secrets thought
to be long lost. In the hands of these monstrous ghouls, the dead are resurrected from bones and
dust and extorted endlessly for their secrets! It’s the story also of a hapless young man
who finds he is just a pawn in this deadly game and a doctor who discovers the plot and finds he
is the only man who can fight it.
—Pete Von Sholly
