The Case of Charles Dexter Ward – E-bok

Charles Dexter Ward, a brilliant but reclusive scholar, vanishes from his asylum under baffling circumstances. His doctor, Marinus Bicknell Willett, retraces the steps that led Ward to his confinement, uncovering a trail of cryptic writings, secret experiments, and an unnatural fascination with his sinister ancestor, Joseph Curwen. As Willett pieces together the mystery, he discovers that Ward’s obsession went far beyond historical curiosity, leading to forces beyond human comprehension. What Willett ultimately uncovers defies all logic, forcing him to confront an ancient terror that threatens to consume far more than just one man.
A masterful blend of gothic horror and cosmic dread, The Case of Charles Dexter Ward is a chilling descent into the perils of forbidden knowledge. With its eerie atmosphere and slow-burning terror, it remains one of H. P. Lovecraft’s most haunting and influential tales.

H.P. LOVECRAFT [1890-1937], born in Providence, Rhode Island, was an American writer known for his horror, fantasy, and science fiction stories. Both of Lovecraft's parents suffered from mental illness, which greatly influenced his youth. He began writing at an early age but had a limited readership during his lifetime. Today, Lovecraft is regarded as an icon of popular culture and is considered one of the most influential and innovative horror writers of the 20th century, often compared to Edgar Allan Poe.
