description: In the longest of the four Cthulhu Mythos stories in this collection The Legacy of Erich Zann the violin and the music that the ill-fated musician left behind become the target some fifteen years later for a mysterious searcher who will stop at nothing--including murder--to obtain them. Edgar Allan Poe's great detective Auguste Dupin who's endangered because of his connection to Zann must not only figure out who--but why. In the original novella The Seeds from the Mountains of Madness it turns out that the famous Captain Oates whose body was never found after he left Scott's tent in the Antarctic did not die after all--or if he did still retained his ability to function in the world. Sent back to England with a mission to fulfill Oates seeks the help of an old school friend a veteran of the Great War--who must also play detective endeavoring to determine who or what has sent Oates back--and of course why! Also included are two short stories The Holocaust of Ecstasy and The Truth About Pickman. Riveting horror--gripping mystery--from a master storyteller.
