He is not to open the door which leads to the strange time and place, nor to invite Him Who lurks at the threshold ..." went the warning in the old family manuscript that Ambrose Dewart discovered when he returned to his ancestral home in the deep woods of rural Massachusetts. Dewart's investigations into his family's sinister past eventually lead to the unspeakable revelations of The Great Old Ones who wait on the boundaries of space and time for someone to summon them to earth. Acclaimed cult horror writer H. P. Lovecraft's notes and outlines for this tale of uncanny terror were completed by August Derleth, his friend and future publisher. Of the many Lovecraft-Derleth "posthumous collaborations," The Lurker at the Threshold remains the most popular, having sold 50,000 copies in its previous edition alone.

Ambrose Dewart returns to his ancestral estate and sets about restoring the mansion to his own tastes. In the process he comes across a document signed by his great grandfather invoking a sinister injunction to future generations: Do not invite he who lurks at the threshold!

Devlin Macky makes a grave error when he purchases a copy of The Necronomicon from the Mad Arab, Abdul Alhazred. Reading it over a stiff drink, he unwittingly opens the First Gate. Soon, a hound is baying through Innsport, and several people end up dead. Glowing spheres appear at random, and a horde of monsters is released on a defenseless city. With the help of Creighton Capshaw, the museum curator, detectives, Duke Givens and Newt Bardhoff, his daring and dashing secretary, Millie von Clydesburgh and her fearless cocker spaniel, Mr. Kalabraise, Macky and his friends must put the city back together before the final gate opens. But Yog-Sothoth, the Lurker at the Threshold, is poised to enter the city. With Azathoth and Cthulhu, they'll begin what they've desired for millennia: the eradication of the human race. Macky and the gang need to summon more than a few spells to put things right. And with Nyarlathotep on their heels, time is running out. Can Macky find a way to close the gates before all hell breaks loose? Will he find a way to bargain with the Elder Gods? And can he do it all in one night and still stay sober? Maybe. Maybe not. Comic antics and adventures, snappy one-liners, and plenty of action and horror make the Lovecraft Mysteries a must read! The Lurker at the Threshold picks up where Macky and Millie left off in book 2, taking the reader deeper into the Lovecraftian Mythos and into more trouble than they've been before.
