H. P. Lovecraft is best known for his fiction, but he spent a great portion of his creative energy on his poetry. The Ancient Track collects the complete poetry of one of the twentieth centuries most iconic writers. The great majority of these poems were written between 1914, and 1920, the period of Lovecraft's heaviest concentration on poetry.Lovecraft's poetry may be regarded as the lesser of is literary output, but it merits collection precisely because it is an important ancillary to his other more well known forms of creative endeavor. Prior to the publication of The Ancient Track, Lovecraft's poetry had been scattered across several different volumes whose textual accuracy has not always been exemplary, while several poems had been uncollected."The Ancient Track"By H. P. LovecraftThere was no hand to hold me backThat night I found the ancient trackOver the hill, and strained to seeThe fields that teased my memory.This tree, that wall-I knew them well,And all the roofs and orchards fellFamiliarly upon my mindAs from a past not far behind.I knew what shadows would be castWhen the late moon came up at lastFrom back of Zaman's Hill, and howThe vale would shine three hours from now.And when the path grew steep and high,And seemed to end against the sky,I had no fear of what might restBeyond that silhouetted crest.Straight on I walked, while all the nightGrew pale with phosphorescent light,And wall and farmhouse gable glowedUnearthly by the climbing road.There was the milestone that I knew-"Two miles to Dunwich"-now the viewOf distant spire and roofs would dawnWith ten more upward paces gone. . . .There was no hand to hold me backThat night I found the ancient track,And reached the crest to see outspreadA valley of the lost and dead:And over Zaman's Hill the hornOf a malignant moon was born,To light the weeds and vines that grewOn ruined walls I never knew.The fox-fire glowed in field and bog,And unknown waters spewed a fogWhose curling talons mocked the thoughtThat I had ever known this spot.Too well I saw from the mad sceneThat my loved past had never been-Nor was I now upon the trailDescending to that long-dead vale.Around was fog-ahead, the sprayOf star-streams in the Milky Way. . . .There was no hand to hold me backThat night I found the ancient track.

Lies & Ugliness

"Lies and Ugliness proves to be a bravura performance by a true virtuoso." Faren Miller, Locus "Brian Hodge has long been a favorite of horror insiders, both for his audacious themes and his impressive facility with language. In such Hodge novels as "Deathgrip," "Nightlife," "The Darker Saints," and "Prototype," and in his widely-anthologized short stories, you can hear the music in Hodge's prose, a kind of euphony that, at its best, is reminiscent of Brite, Koja, Gaiman, or even Roger Zelazny--while remaining, ultimately, unique." Thomas Roche Contents: * Madame Babylon * The 121st Day of Sodom * Empathy * Cancer Causes Rats * Some Other Me * Nesting Instincts (original) * Before the Last Snowflake Falls * An Autumnal Equinox Folly * Confession * Cenotaph * Far Flew the Boast of Him * Now Day Was Fled As the Worm Had Wished * Pages Stuck By a Bowie Knife to a Cheyenne Gallows * Driving the Last Spike * Little Holocausts * Dead Giveaway * Past Tense * Our Lady of Sloth and Scarlet Ivy (original) * The Last Testament * The Alchemy of the Throat * Come Unto Me, All Ye Heavy Laden * From the Gutters of Civilization to Your Discerning Eye (story notes)
