But the resulting book, \u003ci\u003eThe Truth of Carcosa\u003c\/i\u003e, is pure evil. Horrified, Archimboldi suppresses the book and wills all traces of it, his correspondence, and any copies to be destroyed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Long after Archimboldi's death, in a chaotic age of resurgent nationalism and violence, one of the only havens for his work is the ALI, the Archive for Literary Investment, where a biographer and his protégée search through Archimboldi's correspondence for clues on the evil manuscript as they attempt to stop unscrupulous firms with their own plans for the manuscript. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Told from the perspective of a madman obsessed with \u003ci\u003eThe Truth of Carcosa\u003c\/i\u003e and a ragtag group of friends, it becomes clear that this book is more than a book--and that it might be the answer to a bewildering set of questions: Why is the Archive so desperate to preserve Archimboldi's work? Why do so many corporations seem hellbent on seizing any scrap of this mysterious manuscript--and at whatever cost? What are the strange, dancing monsters that appear wherever Archimboldi's work is discovered? And who--or what--is the Yellow King?\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"27th Letter Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67391384387629,"sku":"WHS-4a00de9184d74d9db3362352110af1cb","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/3588\/0749\/files\/original_5c8fbb3c-154c-4d1a-aa8e-bbf34abf00ce.jpg?v=1787353860","url":"https:\/\/27thletterbooks.com\/products\/truth-of-carcosa","provider":"27th Letter Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
