Alchemy and resurrection for H. P. Lovecraft fans
Providence, Rhode Island, 1928. A dangerous inmate disappears from a private hospital for the insane, his method of escape baffling the authorities. Only the patient’ s final visitor, family physician Dr. Marinus Bicknell Willett— himself a piece of the puzzle— holds the key to unlocking The Case of Charles Dexter Ward. A macabre mixture of historical investigation, grave-robbing, and bone-chilling revelation, this newly reissued adaptation artfully lays bare one of H. P. Lovecraft’ s most horrifying creations.
