LiteratureThe Challenge from Beyond
The Challenge from Beyond is a five-author story in which a geologist’s discovery of a crystal cube leads to captivity in an alien body and, unexpectedly, to rule over another world. Each contributor changes the implications of what came before: an archaeological puzzle becomes a mind-transfer trap, then an opportunity for conquest, and finally an account of spiritual transformation. The complete ending belongs to the collaboration, not to Lovecraft alone.
