Four chilling 
novellas blend horror and science fiction in this collection of short 
stories from one of the greatest minds of the twentieth century. 
 When a man can’t bear the company of others, when he runs not just from
 society but from something evil within himself, he’ll find refuge only 
in the dark, deep underground, in the horrifying void of an uncharted 
cave. In the wilds of Mexico, a veteran spelunker hears rumors of a cave
 that could take him deeper than he’s ever gone before. The locals 
whisper old Toltec legends of the devils that inhabit the darkness, 
spirits that have blighted the countryside for miles around, but the man
 doesn’t listen. He’ll find things within that cave that mankind isn’t 
meant to see. And even if he manages to get out alive, he’ll never 
escape the darkness. &nbsp; Drawing on his unique background as an 
intellectual and expert in the supernatural, author H.&nbsp;F. Heard echoes 
the pioneering horror of H.&nbsp;P. Lovecraft and the Victorian science 
fiction of H.&nbsp;G. Wells. In this weird world, the greatest threat to man 
is man himself. &nbsp; “The Lost Cavern” is one of Heard’s best-known
 stories, and it remains just as eerie today as when it debuted. Along 
with the other three stories that make up this volume—“The Cup,” “The 
Thaw Plan,” and “The Chapel of Ease”—it confirms Heard’s deserved status
 as one of the early masters of weird fiction.
