17 - Door of the Unreal by Gerald Biss

Step into the eerie world of Door of the Unreal, an early werewolf novel that garnered the admiration of H.P. Lovecraft. This unique blend of weird fiction emerges from an author primarily known for crime stories. The plot unfolds along a secluded road in Sussex, where two baffling disappearances take place. The second incident involves a member of the aristocracy and a renowned actress, prompting a massive yet ultimately fruitless investigation by Scotland Yard. An American visiting an old friend from the local gentry senses something sinister at play and embarks on his own quest to uncover the truth behind these chilling events. - Summary by Alan Winterrowd
