description: The planet Yith is the home of the Great Race a place inspiring H.P. Lovecraft and other authors to pen classic tales of travel through time and space. In The Shadow Out of Time; (here with new purified text) there is implicit a very different view of Homo Sapiens' origins derived directly from the modern mythology of the Theosophical Society. Lovecraft often mentioned Theosophy as a kind of foil and precedent for his own Mythos in his stories. This collection includes tales of Yith both famous and obscure replete with time travel mind-exchange and thrilling vistas of primordial history set in context that enables new readers and long-time Lovecraftian fans alike to enjoy them. Includes short stories by H.P. Lovecraft August W. Derleth Richard L. Tierney and many others.
