It was in the fall of 1932...
when I discovered that a copy
of the fabled Necronomicon...
was here in America...
being guarded by a clandestine
order of Om Yati monks.
Obtaining this legendary
tome was vital...
not only to my writings...
but to the fate of all mankind.
- Wait for me.
- As you wish, sir.
For within the pages
of the Necronomicon...
lie the very secrets of the universe.
Both past, and future.
- Yes?
- Yes, I have an appointment.
Howard P. Lovecraft.
Mr. Lovecraft...
always a treat.
And how can we indulge you this time?
Mr. Lovecraft!
Actually, I'm here because a new story
of mine demands a bit of fact checking.
Fact checking?
We were under the impression
you dealt in fiction.
My work is wrongly construed as
fiction by the lesser minded.
presenting fictional possibilities.
It's my duty, after all,
as a human being...
to enlighten the darkest
depths of experience...
unjustly hoarded by others.
We shall see.
Oh, yes.
Ah, no no. It's the, uh...
Alchemical Encyclopedia.
You didn't say which volume.
Oh, which volume?
It's volume three, of course.
Please try to remember...
that if you leave this area unattended,
for any reason whatsoever...
we will be forced
to revoke your privileges.
Yes. Yes, of course.
The Necronomicon!
"The Drowned"
Today...
the last descendant of the
De Lapoer line returned from Sweden.
Not only to claim title to the crumbling
remains of the family estate...
but also to escape his own
haunted memories.
As soon as I read the will
I had to come.
Have a look-see. This is
really a very strange place.
Interesting.
The hotel is not in
very good condition.
The uncle died about 60 years ago,
and since then, it stayed empty.
Sixty years?
Yes! I wasn't in charge of
the original inheritance.
Well, things apparently dragged on and...
and I inherited this case along with...
my father's practice.
Thanks.
Your welcome.
Anyway, the important thing
is that we found you.
I tell you, it was a real bitch tracking
you down over in Sweden.
But then, we were looking for a Delapoer,
not a De Lapoer.
I didn't change my name.
De Lapoer is the original spelling
and pronunciation.
Good lord!
You know, you could have
broken your neck!
Yes, how tragic.
I told you, the wallpaper's the only
thing holding this old place together.
You're better off just having
We made it.
When we were here before...
I mean, my clerk and me,
he's a law student...
we didn't have any
trouble with the stairs.
I don't think this hotel likes you.
You came here with your clerk?
Well, it isn't the kind of place
Besides, he was dying to
have a look at the hotel...
after hearing all the stories
from the old folk in the village.
Kevin, that's his name, Kevin.
He's from these parts, and...
Well, the hotel has one hell of a reputation.
That's the sound of water.
is honeycombed with caves...
hollowed out by water
flowing in from the sea.
One day the whole place is going to
crumble right down into them.
I tell you, Edward...
This land is going to be worthless.
That's quite a bed, isn't it?
So, ah...
what were we talking about?
We were talking about
the effect that this hotel...
had on your young clerk.
Right.
Well, it's like something out of
Who's that?
Hmm, you wouldn't know.
That's Emma De Lapoer, your aunt.
