Mad Amos Malone

Strange characters cast long shadows over the Old West. There was Paul Bunyan. There was Pecos Bill. Strangest of all was the giant mountain man they called Mad Amos Malone. Atop his massive, swift, and permanently irascible steed Worthless, Mad Amos crops up everywhere from the construction of the transcontinental railroad to a poor woman's kitchen, confronting everything from Yellowstone spirits to yellow-bellied snake-oil salesmen. Maybe a little crazed, maybe a little other-dimensional, and always impossible to tell if he's just a left a room at the asylum or the Sorbonne. With his saddlebags overflowing with mysteries you'd better not try to peruse, to his mount that you'd best not try to rustle, Mad Amos roams the Old West settling scores, righting wrongs, and just occasionally coming up against trolls, sprites, dragons, spirits of the Earth, evil magicians--and most dangerous of all, dogs and cats. Thar's gold, guns, liquor, wimmen, good spells and evil spells. Mad Amos deals with 'em all. Just keep clear of his Sharp's rifle and the fact that he hasn't had a bath in weeks.

What do three widely separated and seemingly unrelated individuals-Marc Levaseur, a young poet in Paris; Emily Cosgrove, a Ph.D. student in archaeology working in Pompeii; and Demyan Yegorov, a Russian scholar-have in common? They each have a portion of an ancient inscription from the Necronomicon of the mad Arab Abdul Alhazred. Can the fourth and final segment of the inscription be found? The three explorers hope to find it in an obscure region of the Arabian desert-nothing less than Irem, the City of Pillars. But will the cosmic forces opposed to them allow them to succeed in their daring mission?Alan Dean Foster, whose prodigious work in the realms of science fiction, fantasy, and horror has made him a legend in his own time, has written a compelling and action-packed short novel that draws upon some of the most intriguing ideas in the tales of H. P. Lovecraft and brought them into our own time-but he has retained the atmosphere of ancient evil that makes Lovecraft's work so distinctive.Alan Dean Foster (b. 1946) is the author of dozens of novels, including novelizations of Star Trek, Star Wars, and Alien, along with eight story collections and other works. He is also a composer of classical music.
