World Fantasy Award 1978.
What was the evil
figure that haunted Franz Westen? Was it his imagination, or something
infinitely more frightening, connected somehow with those strange old
books he'd been reading?
For there was much in those books to
connect with the bizarre twilight world of San Francisco in the 1920s,
the world of H.P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, Jack London, Dashiell
Hammett and Alistair Crowley.
The more Westen plunged into those
misty reaches of the occult, the more he would uncover things which had
perhaps better lain undisturbed. For Westen, in trying to unravel the
mystery of Our Lady of Darkness, was gambling with his life.
