“The Challenge from Beyond” is a five-part story written as a collaboration between various authors, including: A. Merritt, H. P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard. The story revolves around a man camping in the woods who hears a sound and, frightened, fumbles for the first thing he can find—a strange cube of unknown origin. Each writer attempted to continue the story from where his predecessor ended, developing the story in their own way. A cosmic quest through space and time to face horrors unknown, “The Challenge from Beyond” is not to be missed by fans of fantasy and science fiction. Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890–1937) was an American writer of supernatural horror fiction. Though his works remained largely unknown and did not furnish him with a decent living, Lovecraft is today considered to be among the most significant writers of supernatural horror fiction of the twentieth century. Read & Co. is publishing this classic short story now as part of our “Fantasy and Horror Classics” imprint in a new edition with a dedication by George Henry Weiss.
