My head spun when I took a good look at him. Maybe it was running full-force into a door, but maybe it's because he's melt-your-panties H-O-T. Oh, and he's a hotshot firefighter.

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!
