The Cthulhu Palimpsest

Brian Stableford

Cthulhu has many instruments, but all of them are possessed of free will, and magnetic power can only operate mysteriously, even on the most primitive and stubborn brains.

Written to complete and conclude a series of metaphysical fantasies featuring Auguste Dupin, a character invented by Edgar Poe, which involve him with characters and entities invented by H. P. Lovecraft, as well as actual historical figures and occasional devices appropriated from other works of weird fiction, The Cthulhu Palimpsest, A Romance of Termination is a must-have, both for fans of the series and for fans of Brian Stableford, who produced this long-projected final volume with the pen of a master story-teller.
