During a gold-seeking expedition in South America, an American and an Irishman discover the lost Aztec city of Tiapallan. Within its ruins lies not only the remnants of an ancient civilisation but also a black stone harbouring an unspeakable evil. This malevolent force soon threatens America with horrors reminiscent of H. P. Lovecraft’s nightmarish visions. The Citadel of Fear brilliantly fuses science fiction, fantasy, and supernatural horror in a captivating tale.

During a gold-finding expedition to South America, an American and an Irishman stumble upon the entrance to the lost Aztec city of Tiapallan. There they find not only the remains of an ancient Aztec race, but a black stone containing an unspeakable evil. Before long, this ancient evil brings horror to the shores of America in a way that only H. P. Lovecraft could have imagined.

The Citadel of Fear is a brilliant combination of science fiction, fantasy, and supernatural horror. It is a true masterpiece by one of the most important female sci-fi and fantasy authors of the 20th Century, Francis Stevens.
