First published in 1939 and
reissued by Midnight House in 2002, Echo of a Curse is considered to
be R. R. Ryan’s masterpiece of supernatural horror. In this novel a strong
influence of H. R Lovecraft can be seen to meld with the usual violence and
depravity that are the hallmarks of Ryan’s work. Brutal and uncompromising
from the very start, Echo of a Curse is unlike anything you’ve ever
read before.
This is the third R.R. Ryan
novel we've published, joining The Subjugated Beast and Freak
Museum. Another by the mysterious Ryan, Death of a Sadist, is
coming soon.
