Sinopse
A recluse discovers that his remote Irish home sits upon a threshold to a pit of ancient evil, leading to a siege by swine-like monstrosities. The narrative then expands into a visionary journey through time and space, witnessing the heat-death of the solar system and the ultimate loneliness of the soul. The novel moves from folk horror to a staggering cosmic scale, exploring the insignificance of humanity in the face of eternity. It is a hallucinatory classic that bridges the gap between the gothic and the psychedelic.
