Infos

Fourteen original stories inspired by the influential horror writer, including tales by Laird Barron, Caitlin R. Kiernan, Gemma Files, and Brian Evenson. Compiled by Hugo and Bram Stoker Award winning editor Ellen Datlow, these original stories of the supernatural employ H. P. Lovecraft's trademark terror of the cosmic unknown. A fresh generation of writers have been set free to play in his playground, exploring new themes and new horrors. In "e;Oblivion Mode"e; by Laird Barron, a revenge-fueled woman and her ragtag band confront a vampiric baron. Rumored to have belonged to a Donner Party survivor, a jade figurine winds its way through many different hands and centuries, spreading evil along the way in Caitlin R. Kiernan's "e;Excerpts for An Eschatology Quadrille."e; In Gemma Files's "e;Little Ease,"e; a pest exterminator meets a woman researching Enochian the language of angels and makes a horrific discovery in the walls of a building. A woman's new pair of bifocals comes with a warning she should take seriously in "e;Glasses"e; by Brian Evenson. Also included are tales by Siobhan Carroll, Orrin Grey, Richard Kadrey, A. C. Wise, Brian Hodge, Stephen Graham Jones, John Langan, Maria Dahvana Headley, David Nickle, and Livia Llewellyn. "e;The power of this anthology shows in that it's not only a must for Lovecraft fans, but for any fan of solid, mature, and mind-boggling weird fiction, courtesy of one of the finest editors in the industry."e; New York Journal of Books"e;You don't need to be a fan of H.P. Lovecraft to enjoy the quality storytelling in this book. If you are, though, you might enjoy it even more."e; Horrible Book Reviews
