Desde el más allá
Desde el más allá, cuenta el suceso que conmociona a todo un pueblo cuando un científico, Crawford Tillinghast, inventa un dispositivo que emite una resonancia que estimula la glándula pineal, pero lo que consigue es crear una máquina que sirve como puente entre dos universos muy distintos: el nuestro y otro bastante aterrador.
H. P. Lovecraft se caracteriza por reflejar en sus relatos la imposibilidad de percibir el universo en su totalidad, pues considera que la verdad sólo se puede descubrir de forma sensorial.

About the author
H.P. Lovecraft
6,039 books19.2k followersHoward Phillips Lovecraft, of Providence, Rhode Island, was an American author of horror, fantasy and science fiction.
Lovecraft's major inspiration and invention was cosmic horror: life is incomprehensible to human minds and the universe is fundamentally alien. Those who genuinely reason, like his protagonists, gamble with sanity. Lovecraft has developed a cult following for his Cthulhu Mythos, a series of loosely interconnected fictions featuring a pantheon of human-nullifying entities, as well as the Necronomicon, a fictional grimoire of magical rites and forbidden lore. His works were deeply pessimistic and cynical, challenging the values of the Enlightenment, Romanticism and Christianity. Lovecraft's protagonists usually achieve the mirror-opposite of traditional gnosis and mysticism by momentarily glimpsing the horror of ultimate reality.
Although Lovecraft's readership was limited during his life, his reputation has grown over the decades. He is now commonly regarded as one of the most influential horror writers of the 20th Century, exerting widespread and indirect influence, and frequently compared to Edgar Allan Poe.

Pues la historia de "desde el más alla" es muy corta, solo es interesante. El compilatorio en esta edición tiene cuentos que pueden ser de terror cósmico, terror "medico" si puedo llamarlo así y de aventuras, no creo que haya valido tanto la pena
