The Black Stone

The Black Stone An English academic journeys to a small town in Hungary in search of a  Monolith, believed to be a gateway - a Key -  into the depraved past. Unwary travelers visiting the Stone on a certain night of the year are forever haunted by feverish nightmares of a nameless terror, and our visiting academic feels compelled to unravel the mystery at all costs. Who were the original inhabitants of this obscure and spectral mountain region and what drove the fearsome Turkish forces of Suleiman The Magnificent to destroy nearly  all traces of this unknown race?   Story by Robert E.
