Lovecraft - Numbered Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Colour Out of Space\u003c\/em\u003e is H.P. Lovecraft's masterpiece of cosmic horror. When a meteorite lands on a secluded farm, something begins to spread through the surrounding countryside. The vegetation flourishes grotesquely. The water turns foul. The very atmosphere seems altered. Lovecraft builds a slow, growing dread as the natural world gives way to something wholly alien.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLovecraft wrote the story in March 1927, in the midst of finalizing his landmark essay \u003cem\u003eSupernatural Horror in Literature\u003c\/em\u003e. Dissatisfied with the all-too-human aliens populating much of the fiction he had been surveying for the essay, he set out to imagine an entity so foreign it could scarcely be described—a presence beyond comprehension, beyond category. The story appeared that September in \u003cem\u003eAmazing Stories\u003c\/em\u003e and remained, by Lovecraft's own account, his favorite of his short works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Colour Out of Space\u003c\/em\u003e stands among the most influential stories in Lovecraft's canon, and one of the purest expressions of his vision of a universe indifferent to human understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe limited edition of \u003cem\u003eThe Colour Out of Space\u003c\/em\u003e by H.P.
