We present this baroque and bizarre masterpiece by R.H. Barlow in a Limited Letterpress Numbered print run of 34 copies.
R.H. Barlow, who was a collaborator and friend to H.P. Lovecraft, composed this sequence of short Tales, having been inspired by a mysterious phrase from the novel Vathek written by William Beckford; "thither Ganigul often retired in the daytime to read in quiet the marvelous Annals of the Jinns, the chronicles of ancient worlds, and the prophecies relating to the worlds that are yet to be born."
"...for these fables are exquisite dark miniatures, like tiny cameos carved in onyx." Lin Carter, Kingdoms of Sorcery, 1976.
