Here is another story that goes back to a Lovecraft original and fills in some implicit gaps. Surely what happened to the protagonist of “The Shadow out of Time” had happened to others in his position, mind-time voyagers kidnapped by the Great Race, remembering far more than they were supposed to. But not everyone would react the same way. Here is a tale of someone with very different reactions to the exploitations of the Yithites. A word about the style: you may wonder if author Tonso has not switched minds with Lovecraft or with one of the antique writers who so influenced his style. You and I might not decide to write with such out-of-style flourish, but then again we might not invoke the same remarkable Lovecraftian mood either.

You will shortly be reading about a mysterious link between the Plateau of Leng and ancient Sumerian civilizations. This may sound arbitrary and outlandish, but in fact there is such a connection, as attested in the name of the towering cosmic mountain in the mythology of Tibetan Buddhism (“Leng” standing for Tibet), Mount Meru. It appears to be a shorter form of “Sumeru,” itself a longer version of “Sumer.” You will no doubt recognize “Sumeru” from Sax Rohmer, who uses it as the name of the daughter of Dr. Fu Manchu.
