Deep in the sweltering jungles of South America, two explorers — Falmer and Thone — stumble upon a forgotten ruin, hidden beneath centuries of tangled growth and silence. Within its shadowed chambers lies an ancient tomb, undisturbed, its secrets sealed in stone and time. But something lingers in the sepulchre. Something old. Something alive. Something that does not sleep. As one of the men becomes obsessed with a strange, unidentifiable seed found within the tomb, the boundary between plant and predator, dream and nightmare, begins to rot and dissolve.

Monstruos en la noche, probablemente uno de los cuentos de Clark Ashton Smith menos conocidos, y ciertamente uno de los más extraños, combina de manera prodigiosa las antiguas leyendas de hombres lobo con la ciencia ficción. El relato nos sitúa en un año indeterminado del siglo XXI. Un licántropo se dispone a transformarse para acechar a los caminantes incautos de un bosque. Mientras aguarda, reflexiona sobre su propia naturaleza, sabe que hay otros seres monstruosos, como él y de otras estirpes, otros seres de la noche...pero parece que no lo sabe todo sobre su mundo...algo imperdonable.

In the depths of human imagination lies a realm where ancient gods stir in their slumbers, where forbidden knowledge teeters on the edge of consciousness, and where cosmic horror casts its suffocating veil over reality.

Dans les villes et villages, dans les forêts et les campagnes, les morts, les momies, les squelettes ne laissent aux vivants aucun répit et, sans cesse, les assaillent et les poursuivent.

Zothique is Earth's last continent in the very distant future when the sun has grown dim, the work has grown old and the remorseless seas have overwhelmed all other continents.
