Book Description

Only one place: 13 China Alley, an address sometimes found in New York City, sometimes in San Francisco—a strange, foreboding place, a museum, partly a storehouse of mystic relics gathered from a century of adventures—the adventures of a master of the mystic arts, a fiercely intelligent sleuth and a fearless battler of those horrors continually trying to break through from the grasping beyond. It is the home of Dr. Anton Zarnak. Legendary master of fantasy fiction Lin Carter is known around the world as the creator of wildly memorable characters in every branch of the genre—and the field of psychic detectives is no exception. This modern day wizard, the mysterious and arrogant Dr. Anton Zarnak is one of the most smoothly crafted of these characters ever to see print, one that easily rivals Seabury Quinn's Jules de Grandin or any of literature's other supernatural gumshoes. For the first time ever, all of the Carter's Zarnak stories are brought together with those tales written by others at the request of the author and later by the estate. World-renowned Lovecraftian editor Robert M. Price has personally overseen the creation of all the additional tales collected here, making sure they each are a gem of which Carter himself would have been proud.
