A colourful diversity of characters adds atmosphere and mystery that is unique to Africa.

Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890 - 1937) gilt als der bedeutendste Autor der phantastischen Horrorliteratur - quasi der "Edgar Allan Poe" des 20. Jahrhunderts. Mit dem "Cthulhu-Mythos" erschuf er eine ganze Welt, in der außerirdische Wesen, vor Urzeiten auf unseren Planeten gelangt, gottgleich und quasi unsterblich herrschten. Die vorliegende Geschichte "Polaris" beschreibt einen Menschen, der aufgrund seiner Schlaflosigkeit nicht mehr zwischen Traum und Realität unterscheiden kann. Ein feines Exempel bester klassischer Horrorliteratur in der Tradition Edgar Allan Poes!

I'm trapped in the middle of nowhere with the sexiest man I've ever seen... what could possibly go wrong? My family sent me here thinking it would help lift my mood. When I think about it now, I realise I didn’t give nearly enough thought to what it would be like, or what I’d be doing on a farm. If anything, I had a vague, nebulous notion that it would be like some sort of retreat. Boy, was I wrong. Far from relaxing, I now find myself tending to actual sheep. If you knew me at all, you’d know how preposterous that is.
