The Shadow Out of Time is the story of Professor of Economics Nathaniel Wingate Peaslee who faints one day in the middle of a lecture and regains consciousness five years later only to find that he – or some entity inhabiting his body – has been pursuing eccentric researches in the obscure libraries and remote places of the world. As he follows the trail of this five year search – of which he has no conscious memory – he begins to dream (or remember?) cyclopean cities and the massive conical beings which inhabit them. Eventually his journey ends in the outback of Australia, amid cavernous ruins and terrifying revelations.
