P. Lovecraft, written in 1908, when Lovecraft was 17 or 18, and first published in the November 1916 issue of the United Amateur. <br />The story is recounted by the protagonist, Antoine C-, in the first person. Hundreds of years ago, Antoine's noble ancestor was responsible for the death of a dark wizard, Michel Mauvais. The wizard's son, Charles le Sorcier, swore revenge on not only him but all his descendants, cursing them to die on reaching the age of 32. <br />The protagonist recounts how his ancestors all died in some mysterious way around the age of 32. The line has dwindled and the castle has been left to fall into disrepair, tower by tower. Finally, Antoine is the only one left, with one poor servant, Pierre, who raised him, and a tiny section of the castle with a single tower is still usable. Antoine has reached adulthood, and his 32nd year is approaching. </p> This work is available for countries where copyright is Life+70 and in the USA. http://feedbooks.com/book/235.png http://feedbooks.com/book/235.pdf http://feedbooks.com/book/235.epub http://feedbooks.com/book/235.mobi The Call of Cthulhu Howard Phillips Lovecraft http://feedbooks.com/book/18 urn:isbn:0786926392 en 1926 Short Fiction Horror <p>"The Call of Cthulhu" is one of H. P. Lovecraft's best-known short stories. Written in the summer of 1926, it was first published in Weird Tales, February 1928. It is the only story written by Lovecraft in which the extraterrestrial entity Cthulhu himself makes a major appearance. <br />It is written in a documentary style, with three independent narratives linked together by the device of a narrator discovering notes left by a deceased relative. The narrator pieces together the whole truth and disturbing significance of the information he possesses, illustrating the story's first line: "The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity; and it was not meant that we should voyage far."</p> This work is available for countries where copyright is Life+70. http://feedbooks.com/book/18.png http://feedbooks.com/book/18.pdf http://feedbooks.com/book/18.epub http://feedbooks.com/book/18.mobi
