He tore loose of the robe, spinning and falling into the mud as lightning flashed and it thundered all about him. The devilish creature stood above him, growling, spreading its huge wings." Fifty years after archaeologist Robert Thornton was driven from his home in the dead of night by an unearthly monster, the cursed stone house in Brighton, England is purchased by E. L. Winthrop, retired general of the British Army, who is at best uncertain of the rumors circulating about its mysteries. Everything seems normal during his stay until, one night, he is awakened not by beasts but rather a bizarre, unearthly humming coming from his cellar, eventually leading him to enlist the aid of his nephew, Stanley, and Professor of Antiquity Benjamin T. Ogg of Wales, in an attempt to discover the reasons behind this. Their journey takes them across the globe, from Europe to South America, Africa, and finally to India, where they find a most peculiar truth indeed. Beware, for those who search hard enough sometimes find exactly what they seek. The destinies of men and women are not for anyone save themselves to find. You are who you are, make the most of it while you can, for some fates truly do end in nightmares.
