Book Description
A manuscript is found: filled with small, precise writing and smelling of pit-water, it tells the story of an old recluse and his strange home - and its even stranger, jade-green double, seen by the recluse on an otherworldly plain where gigantic gods and monsters roam.
Soon his more earthly home is no less terrible than his bizarre vision, as swine-like creatures boil from a cavern beneath the ground and besiege it. But a still greater horror will face the recluse - more inexorable, merciless and awful than any creature that can be fought or killed.
My Review
This was a great read for the Halloween season as it is a supernatural horror story. I found it to be rather unique and quite creepy. The main character is a recluse who left a diary of his experiences. The old house plays such a part in the story that it assumes a character persona. I would recommend this story for anyone who loves the bizarre, supernatural or science fiction.
