The Transition of Titus Crow (1975)

by Brian Lumley
(#3 in Titus Crow)

The Stalker Between the Stars

I felt about me the emptiness of remote and infinite vacuums of space, and their coldness. I saw, blazing on a panoply of jet, unknown constellations and nameless nebulae stretching out and away through the light years into unthinkable abysses of space.

Finally, winging through the nearer voids, I spied that enigmatic coffin-shape recognized of old, and again, as in delirious dreams, I heard my lost friend's voice.

A shape! Cthulhu!
