In the 1930s, William Sloane wrote two brilliant novels that gave a whole new meaning to cosmic horror. In <i>To Walk the Night</i>, Bark Jones and his college buddy Jerry Lister, a science whiz, head back to their alma mater to visit a cherished professor of astronomy. They discover his body, consumed by fire, in his laboratory, and an uncannily beautiful young widow in his house - but nothing compares to the revelation that Jerry and Bark encounter in the deserts of Arizona at the end of the book. <i>In The Edge of Running Water</i>, Julian Blair, a brilliant electrophysicist, has retired to a small town in remotest Maine after the death of his wife. His latest experiments threaten to shake up the town, not to mention the universe itself.
