World War II veteran Edward Bond's recuperation from a disastrous fighter plane crash takes a distinct turn for the weird when he encounters a giant wolf, a red witch, and the undeniable power of the need-fire, a portal to a world of magic and swordplay at once terribly new and hauntingly familiar. In the Dark World, Bond opposes the machinations of the dread lord Ganelon and his terrible retinue of werewolves, wizards, and witches, but all is not as it seems in this shadowy mirror of the real world, and Bond discovers that a part of him feels more at home here than he ever has on Earth.

The Dark World

The Time Axis is a science fiction novel by Henry Kuttner first published in 1948. Called to the end of time by a being known as The Face of Ea, four adventurers face a power that not even the science of that era could meet -- the nekron, negative matter, negative force, ultimate destruction for everything it touched! The Time Axis is told from the first-person perspective of Jerry Cortland, a freelance journalist trying to escape his miserable past in Brazil. There, he’s attacked by a strange being of pure energy—negative energy—which burns his hand, and gives him a brief glimpse of clarity. This creature is responsible for a growing number of murders, and the burn victims seem to center around Jerry. He’s contacted by scientists Ira De Kalb and Letta Essen, who reveal some shocking developments. De Kalb stumbled upon a puzzle-box from the far future, which gives flashes of realization and foretells The Face of Ea, the last city on Earth, besieged by a nekrotic plague of negative energy. That’s the same nekrotic being that burned Jerry, and those around him. Now, the plague of nekrosis is growing: and as it does, it eats away at the fabric of time itself. Henry Kuttner (1915–1958) was an American author of science fiction, fantasy and horror, an author who was one of the half dozen or so pillars of the Golden Age of Sci-Fi. Marion Zimmer Bradley is among many authors who have cited Kuttner as an influence. Her novel The Bloody Sun is dedicated to him. Roger Zelazny has talked about the influence of The Dark World on his Amber series.

Weird stories Tre classic short stories (novels) in the fantasy and horror genre with authors Henry Kuttner, Ronal Keyser and Manly Wade Wellman. The Secret of Kralitz By HENRY KUTTNER (pseudonyms Lewis Padgett and Lawrence O'Donnell) I was dining with my ancestors—the House of Kralitz! Deep in my memories, I had not noticed our path, but now the dark forms of my guides paused beside a gap in the stone flagging, where a stairway which I had never seen during my wanderings about the castle led into subterranean depths. Down this stairway I was conducted, and presently I came to realize that there was light of a sort—a dim, phosphorescent radiance that came from no recognizable source, and seemed to be less actual light than the accustoming of my eyes to the near-darkness. In the Dark By RONAL KAYSER (pseudonym Dale Clark) It was a tale of sheer horror that old Asa Gregg poured into the dictaphone. Especially he didn't want to remember the frightful time he'd had stripping the gold rings from her fingers, and the one gold tooth in her head.... I carried her into the storage room. I got the lid off one of the acid tanks. The vat contained an acid powerful enough to destroy anything—except gold. In fact, the vat itself had to be lined with gold-leaf. The Golgotha Dancers By MANLY WADE WELLMAN A curious and terrifying story about an artist who sold his soul that he might paint a living picture. There rushed and swelled into me the sudden startled strength that sometimes favors the desperate. I screamed like any wild thing caught in a trap, rolled somehow out of bed and to my feet. One of the beings I shook off and the other I dashed against the bureau. Freed, I made for the bedroom door and the front of the apartment, stumbling and staggering on fear-weakened legs.

In "The Power and the Glory," Henry Kuttner explores the complexities of human nature through a gripping narrative that fuses elements of science fiction with stark moral dilemmas. Set against a backdrop of mad scientific experiments and societal collapse, the book navigates themes of power, ethics, and the relentless pursuit of knowledge. Kuttner's imaginative prose and rich characterization bring the narrative to life, challenging the reader to ponder the implications of unchecked ambition and the moral compromises that accompany it. His deft use of irony and both cosmic and intimate stakes elevate the story, aligning it with the best traditions of speculative literature in the mid-20th century. Henry Kuttner, a pivotal figure in the Golden Age of Science Fiction, was known for his collaborative works and innovative storytelling. His experiences during the Great Depression, combined with a keen insight into human psychology and societal changes, profoundly influenced his writing. Recognized for blending genre elements with philosophical questioning, Kuttner's keen sense of irony and moral contemplation is evident in "The Power and the Glory," making it a significant entry in his oeuvre. For readers fascinated by the intersection of technology and morality, and those who enjoy thought-provoking narratives that linger long after the last page, "The Power and the Glory" is a must-read. Kuttner's incisive exploration of the human condition remains relevant today, inviting reflection on the long-lasting impact of our choices in a rapidly evolving world.

The power and the glory

Beneath the crumbling tombstones of Salem's old cemetery, something stirs in the dark. The dead do not rest easy here, not because of ghosts, but because of what lurks beneath—the scurrying, gnawing, ever-hungry things that slither through tunnels older than memory. Massing in the catacombs, these rats are no mere vermin. They are watchers, thieves of the dead, and perhaps something far worse. For every corpse lowered into the earth, another vanishes, stolen away into the labyrinth of writhing shadows. The cemetery's keeper, a man as desperate as he is ruthless, has seen too much and suspects even more. But when he dares to venture underground to reclaim his illicit spoils, he will come to understand—some secrets are best left buried. Henry Kuttner's The Graveyard Rats is a masterpiece of creeping dread, a story that seeps into the mind like damp earth through a cracked coffin lid. A descent into the claustrophobic horror of the unseen, where the gnawing in the dark is more than just hunger—it is a whisper of something ancient, something patient, something waiting. Dare you follow the echoes of scratching claws into the tunnels below?
