The Hounds of Tindalos

The Hounds of Tindalos

Frank Belknap Long

1929

Science-Fiction & Fantasy, Short Stories

The Hounds of Tindalos introduced some of the most terrifying entities in all of cosmic horror. They wait in the angles of time itself, beings that exist beyond human perception, beyond sanity itself. When Chalmers discovers an ancient drug that promises to unlock the secrets of past and future, he opens a door that should have stayed sealed. His friend watches in horror as the experiment transforms Chalmers into something broken, something hunted. The Hounds have found him, and they do not stop. They never stop. Long's 1929 masterpiece captures the essential terror of Lovecraft's universe: that knowledge is a door that swings both ways, that the universe holds horrors older than humanity, and that some questions were never meant to be answered. This is where the Mythos earned its most haunting creatures, and where readers first learned that time itself can be a prison.
