Limited to 3,000 copies. * * * From the dust jacket Carter Graham uncovered a strange little image, unlike anything else on earth. It responded to cosmic forces and laws beyond those known to science, and with it, Graham set out to unravel that greatest of all mysteries�man and his relation to the universe. Readers of Donald Wandrei's book of short stories, The Eye and the Finger, will find his first novel the same poetic fantasy that distinguished so many of his tales. Here is one of the few novels ever written on a cosmic scale, with the entire universe its framework, all time and space its background, and all life its theme. In this narrative, the sense of wonder and the liberation of dream lead to complete imaginative escape. Of The Web of Easter Island, read in manuscript, the late H. P. Lovecraft wrote: "You will like this novel�especially the poetically cosmic second half, one chapter of which is a masterpiece of underground horror."
