Here is THE CASE OF CHARLES DEXTER WARD—the last, and many think the best, the most exciting—of all H. P. Lovecraft's superb weird fantasies.
Discovered after years of difficult search—and pieced together with as much careful patience as Charles Ward puts into his terrifying researches in the story—August Derleth and Donald Wandrei at long last had all the scattered pages of Lovecraft's novel complete.
The manuscript, gathered over the course of many years from attics, forgotten strong boxes and old bureaus, is published now—in Weird Tales.
In it you are going to read again of Cthulhu and the fearful Necronomicon; in these pages you will also find a perfect wealth of new thrills. In Charles Ward you will read ... but why go on, when you're just raring to get ahead with the story?
So just turn the page—and on with the show!
