Publisher's Synopsis
What if the boundaries between math, magic, and madness no longer held?
In The Dreams in the Witch House, H.P. Lovecraft explores the terrifying overlap of rational science and occult dread. Walter Gilman rents a room in Arkham's most cursed dwelling-the old Witch House-where seventeenth-century witch Keziah Mason once vanished through a crack in the walls. But Gilman's curiosity in complex mathematics and folklore draws him into a realm where space folds unnaturally, time collapses, and creatures beyond comprehension lurk.
This modern edition offers a polished and accessible reading experience while preserving the intense psychological horror and cosmic terror that define Lovecraft's work.
