P. Lovecraft. Inside you'll find:Details by China Miéville: A curious boy discovers that within the splinters of cracked wood or the tangle of tree branches, the devil is in the details. Visitation by James Robert Smith: When Edgar Allan Poe arrives, a callow man finally gets what he always wanted-and what he may eternally despise.
