Description

Horror and Wonder at the Ends of the Earth Writers are drawn to the unreachable places of the Earth - to the greatest mountains and depths of the sea, the most barren deserts, and to the white frozen deserts surrounding the north and south poles. In our minds' eyes, the beauty and mystery of the ice descends from Poe to the present and into the future, an infinite realm of wonder.

First words
In his "Notes on the Writing of Weird Fiction", Lovecraft counsels writers to begin by constructing a synopsis of the events of a story in order of their actual occurence, and only then to devise the order in which they will ... (show all)be related.
Last words
(Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)If any reference was made by the nomads to Tse-Quong T'ang, the "bad place", the report does not acknowledge it. Perhaps the hint was taken.
