Denys Barry is strongly convinced that telepathy is possible and his clinical research at the Oakdale Institute supports his hypothesis.

But Barry's research is jeopardized after he suffers a violent seizure during an experiment in which he seems to sputter "cosmic" nonsense. Soon after Barry discovers that a criminal patient named Joe Slaader was admitted into Oakdale at the same as Barry's outburst.

Barry is convinced his mind somehow tapped into Slaader's delusion. And he will now skirt theoretical metaphysical laws to try to tap into that criminal's mind again. This Lovecraft tale is adapted by award winning comic writer Steven Philip Jones (CALIBER's Sherlock Holmes, Dracula).

This tale is illustrated by Octavio Cariello who has worked on DC's Green Lantern, Black Lightning, Deathstroke, and MARVEL's X-Men comic series. In addition to the comic adaptation of the story, the original H.P.

Lovecraft story is also included in this publication.
