Los ejemplares completos tienen una semejanza tan impresionante con ciertos seres de los mitos primigenios que resulta inevitable pensar en su existencia milenaria fuera de la Antártida. Dyer y Pabodie han leído el Necronomicón y han visto las pinturas de pesadilla de Clark Ashton Smith basadas en el texto, y comprenderán lo que quiero decir si hablo de los Primordiales, supuestos creadores de la vida terrestre como broma o por error.
Everett PA, Visionary Publishing Company, 1936. Hardback first edition and first impression. Fine book with a little dustiness to the boards and a wrinkled spine (this is due to poor production quality and is as published). The jacket is fine (many were issued following publication, hence why it’s not uncommon to find very nice copies). One of only 200 copies. Single page errata sheet included.
Stephen King is just continuing the fine New England tradition of horror which can trace itself back to such greats as HP Lovecraft and Nathaniel Hawthorne of being unable to picture the world outside New England as anything other than a screaming void of horror.
To be fair from what I’ve heard from Florida my aunts’ work in healthcare (one as an administrator and the other as a doctor) and my cousins time in school there, they’re not wrong.
(Also, note that even though Howard Philips Lovecraft is a well-known writer and any statues of him would be even more entertaining than the statue of Edgar Allan Poe being attacked by a raven just off the Boston Common, Boston does not have a tradition of putting up statues of people whose main contribution to history was their racism.)
