The Imago Series and Other Stories

This is the legendary collection by Laird Barron, which once caused a real sensation in American horror. These are stories about cosmic horror, about beings that inhabit the realms beyond our Universe, yet imperceptibly, and sometimes quite visibly, are present in our everyday lives. A private detective is tasked with uncovering the story behind a mysterious series of photographs that may capture something extraterrestrial. During a government experiment to investigate the paranormal, soldiers encounter a real nightmare. A Pinkerton agent in the 1930s hunts a serial killer but encounters something far more sinister. A local businessman, after a strange accident on an abandoned farm, tries to uncover its history, unaware of the abyss his curiosity will lead him into. These are stories about a crumbling reality, into the cracks of which unfathomable terror seeps. Here, chaos can lurk around every corner, and science may carve a path into realms alien to humanity.
