| Item Description: | " 'The Colour out of Space,' written in March 1927, is the final tale of an unprecedented year and a half of Lovecraft's life ... We know little of the genesis of the story; and, aside from his random comment that it was an 'atmospheric study,' Lovecraft says little about it ... What we do know is that the tale is one of his most searching accounts of topographical horror--especially the topography of New England ... The tale is set in central Massachusetts, exactly at the place where the Quabbin Reservoir was being built, beginning in 1926. ... The key element in the story is, of course, the strange meteorite that lands in Nahum Gardner's farm ..."--from the introduction by S.T. Joshi. The text of the story is based on a typesxcript at the John Hay Library of Brown University, which has some corrections by Lovecraft. "Images, design, and binding by Amy Borezo. Edition of 40.
