In 1908, Peasley, a professor of political economy at Miskatonic University, experienced an unfortunate syncope. After waking up, Pisley seemed like a different person, with no idea of his identity. Five years later, he finally regained his sanity, but was unable to remember what happened during the amnesia period. As he tried to discover what happened during this period, he became increasingly painful. Vivid and disturbing dreams would guide his journey through time and space, unlocking the secrets of those lost years...
"The Shadow Out of Time" was Lovecraft's last great work in his short life. This science fiction novel vividly expresses the core idea of "cosmism" in Lovecraft's works. The grand world view and the thinking across the huge dimensions of time and space have had a profound impact on later generations.
Reader comments
I especially like those mysterious and scary dreams, it feels like I am experiencing them myself. The character's personality is also very distinct, and Peasley's spirit of exploration is very admirable. The plot of this book is very attractive and enjoyable to read. Highly recommended!
Very good to compete with "At the Mountains of Madness"
