Résumé
I hope the title of this book is not misleading. If you are expecting an entire volume of spinoffs from Lovecraft's The Shadow Out of Time, complete with consciousness-swapping across the aeons, cone-shaped scholarly beings compiling their archives while dinosaurs roam outside their cities and some nameless doom threatens them from below, this isn't it. I did indeed include a few stories of that sort, as such titles as Robert Guffey's "Toward a General Theory of Yithian Psychology" and Robert M.
Price's "Crom-Ya's Triumph" imply. (Crom-Ya, as aficionados will recall, was a Cimmerian chieftain that Lovecraft's protagonist met when imprisoned in one of those alien bodies during his sojourn in the past.) But the focus of this book is a lot broader. In his 1933 essay "Notes on Writing Weird Fiction, " Lovecraft wrote:"The reason why time plays a great part in so many of my tales is that this element looms up in my mind as the most profoundly dramatic and terrible thing in the universe.
Conflict with time seems to me the most potent and fruitful theme in all human expression."Italics are his, by the way. Contributors were given that quote and told, "Go. Great Race of Yith optional." This book is the result.
