I have stood on the dim shore beyond time and matter and seen it. It moves through strange curves and outrageous angles. Some day I shall travel in time and meet it face to face.'Unlike nineteenth-century Gothic fiction,which tends to fixate on the past,the haunted and the ghostly,early weird fiction probes the very boundaries of reality - the laws and limits of time,space and matter. Here,unimaginable terrors lurk in hitherto unknown mirror dimensions,calamities in ultra-space threaten to wipe clean all evidence of our universe and experiments in non-Euclidean geometry lead to sickening consequences. In twelve speculative tales of our universe's mathematics and physics gone awry,this new anthology presents an abundance of curiosities - and terrors - with stories from Jorge Luis Borges,Miriam Allen deFord,Frank Belknap Long and Algernon Blackwood.
