{"product_id":"the-monster-of-lake-lametrie-wardon-allan-curtis-9789374592885","title":"The Monster of Lake Lametrie","description":"A pall of mist coils above the waters of a remote Colorado lake, shrouding secrets that defy the boundaries of science and the soul. In the waning years of the nineteenth century, the rational order of Victorian society is upended by a tale as chilling as it is mesmerising-a gothic horror novella that delves into the shadowy depths between man and monster, reason and madness. Here, amid the wilds of late Victorian America, a speculative short story unfolds in which mad science experiments blur the line between human and animal, giving rise to a lake monster legend that lingers long after the final page. This rare work of classic weird fiction, long out of print and now republished by Alpha Editions, invites both new readers and seasoned collectors to experience a narrative that pulses with the unease of transformation. Fans of H. P. Lovecraft and readers of Victorian horror will find themselves drawn into a world where the unnatural is not only possible, but inevitable. The story's roots in nineteenth-century Colorado lend it a unique sense of place, while its themes-obsession, isolation, and the perilous pursuit of knowledge-echo the finest traditions of Edgar Allan Poe-inspired Victorian speculative fiction. Restored for today's and future generations, this edition resurrects a lost gem that once haunted the imaginations of its earliest audience. It is not just a reprint-it's a collector's item and a cultural treasure, carefully presented for those who cherish the uncanny and the extraordinary. Whether you are a casual reader seeking a haunting escape or a connoisseur building a classic library, this novella stands as a testament to the enduring power of the weird and the wondrous.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wardon Allan Curtis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9374592886\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789374592885\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Alpha Edition\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/31\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 22\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.05d","brand":"Wardon Allan Curtis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48874579820799,"sku":"9789374592885","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-monster-of-lake-lametrie-wardon-allan-curtis-9789374592885","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
