Publisher's Synopsis
Medusa's Coil is a classic American horror story by H. P. Lovecraft and Zelia Bishop. The drive toward Cape Girardeau had been through an unfamiliar country, and as the late afternoon light grew golden and half-dreamlike I realized that I must have directions if I expected to reach the town before night. I did not care to be wandering about these bleak southern Missouri lowlands after dark, for roads were poor and the November cold rather formidable in an open roadster. Black clouds, too, were massing on the horizon; so I looked about among the long, grey, and blue shadows that streaked the flat, brownish fields, hoping to glimpse some house where I might get the needed information.
