The Short Fiction of Frank Belknap Long

Frank Belknap Long belonged to the circle of writers around H. P. Lovecraft, and this gathering of his short fiction shows why his early weird tales still unsettle readers. The best known, The Hounds of Tindalos, sends a man’s consciousness hurtling backward through time on a drug-fueled experiment, only to draw the attention of ancient predators that lurk in the sharp angles of reality. Alongside it stand other stories of cosmic dread, doomed experiments, and horrors that press in from beyond ordinary perception. Long wrote for the pulp magazines of the 1920s and 1930s, and these pieces capture the eerie, idea-driven horror of that era. This collection is available as a free PDF and EPUB edition.
