The concept of this story has five authors write one chapter each. Each of the authors has their own distinctive style, and so the story is a little uneven, but a lot fun to read. Each of the authors were masters of their craft in their day and I just wonder what a book written in the same format by today’s authors (King, Rowling, etc) would be like. ( ) Several writers contribute towards this supernatural short story. Robert E. Howard's involvement is unfortunately minimal. I suspect the tale would've been much more upbeat had he been more apparent. Lovecraft's section proved especially tedious in this monotonous yarn about a man being transported to another world via a cube he discovers. There are some clever elements towards the end, hence my rating the piece 2 stars instead on 1, but overall I found this too slow-paced and mundane.

"The Challenge from Beyond" is a five-part story written as a collaboration between various authors, including: A. Merritt, H. P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard. The story revolves around a man camping in the woods who hears a sound and, frightened, fumbles for the first thing he can find--a strange cube of unknown origin. Each writer attempted to continue the story from where his predecessor ended, developing the story in their own way. A cosmic quest through space and time to face horrors unknown, "The Challenge from Beyond" is not to be missed by fans of fantasy and science fiction. Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890-1937) was an American writer of supernatural horror fiction. Though his works remained largely unknown and did not furnish him with a decent living, Lovecraft is today considered to be among the most significant writers of supernatural horror fiction of the twentieth century. Read & Co. is publishing this classic short story now as part of our "Fantasy and Horror Classics" imprint in a new edition with a dedication by George Henry Weiss.
