LOVECRAFT'S THE HOUND AND OTHER STORIES!Dyer and Danforth from the Miskatonic University research team take their small plane through the unknown Antarctic mountain range--and land to explore the vast, cyclopean alien city that lies beyond it. Here at last they will discover the hideous secret of all life on Earth . . . but can they escape these uttermost vaults at the bottom of the world, and keep sanity enough to warn mankind...? The conclusion of At the Mountains of Madness!

    P. Lovecraft have been a source of fascination for readers since they were published in the early twentieth century, and legions of fans continue to reinvent his dark and fantastical world to this day. This collection of short stories by the master of the macabre contains more than a dozen of his most popular works, including -The Call of Cthulhu,- -The Shadow Over Innsmouth,- and -The Dunwich Horror.- Each story will leave the reader feeling unsettled and uncertain, but also appreciative of the unique elements that Lovecraft introduced to the literary world.

    This massive, full-color volume is filled with deep resources just for the Delta Green game master.THE PAST: details on the world and history of Delta Green.THE UNNATURAL: details on the Cthulhu Mythos, from monsters to hypergeometry to the Great Old Ones, including rules for creating new threats.THE SCHISM: deep details on the Delta Green organization itself — or rather, two different Delta Green groups, not always working to the same ends.THE OPERA: guidelines for creating scenarios, running campaigns, and customizing the setting.APPENDICES: a ready-to-play scenario, “The Sentinels of Twilight,” a Handler-facing glossary, index, recommended media, sample NPCs to use in any game, rules variants, and more.

    Lovecraft and his successors. Here in the library, under lock and key, are some of the world’s most dangerous books, most famously the dreaded Necronomicon of the mad Arab, Abdul Alhazred. There was a notably unpleasant incident in the late 1920s, when a certain Wilbur Whateley tried to steal that particular volume, and met a hideous fate. Fortunately, that time at least, the head librarian and his colleagues were able to save the Earth from the dreadful danger of the Dunwich Horror. How safe are Miskatonic’s security precautions and what has perhaps disappeared from, or appeared in the collection since? What other creepy, maddening, extra-dimensional, or even sentient tomes reside on those forbidden shelves? What strange events have taken place among the stacks? Is there an inter-library loan system? Who, or what, comes after miscreants who fail to return books on time? In the modern, digital age, what would happen if some of the content escaped over the Internet? Are some of the books, or all of them, little more than slowly ticking time bombs? And what, dare we ask, can be found in the Cooking Section? If you learn all the secrets of the Miskatonic University Library, will you go mad—or just wish you had? A feast of bibliographical horrors by Don Webb, Adrian Cole, Dirk Flinthart, Harry Turtledove, P.D. Cacek, Will Murray, A.C. Wise, Marilyn Mattie Brahen, Douglas Wynne, Alex Shvartsman, James Van Pelt, Robert M. Price, and Darrell Schweitzer.

     They were there when the Saurians were cast aside, and the ancestors of men were little more than pets for the things that once walked the Earth. They witnessed the wrathful judgment of gods and the terrible punishment inflicted on those who defy them.   They are there when Rome begins to crumble, manipulating the long course of Human thought, Human evolution, and Human history. They have tampered with things that should not have been, creating monsters of men. They play the Long Game, the purpose of which is hidden, perhaps even from themselves.   They shall be as saviors, manipulating forces we do not and cannot understand. We shall succumb to their benevolent rule, and they shall fall to the monsters we become to resist them, sacrificing Humanity itself, embracing our destiny to become so much more. But even this is only part of the Long Game, a game in which the universe itself is the prize. The Yith Have Always Been With Us... and So Have the Peaslees. Twenty-two tales of cosmic horror detailing the further exploits of H.P. Lovecraft’s Peaslee family, their ancestors, and descendants. *** "Rawlik’s THE PEASLEE PAPERS transcends mere Lovecraftian homage into an area all its own, spanning time and space, slipstreaming historical characters into the mix while diving deep into occult conspiracies that linger on the mind long after the last page is turned." -- Bob Pastorella, This Is Horror "Pete Rawlik, more than any other working with the Mythos today, brings a gleeful joy to his work. THE PEASLEE PAPERS sees Rawlik turning his fiendishly clever imagination towards one of the founding blocks of weird fiction as set out by Lovecraft himself. Good googly moogly it is fun. I want to have cocktails with this cat." -- Acep Hale, book reviewer

    P. Lovecraft and his works have become an overwhelming part of popular culture. His creation, Cthulhu, has appeared in films, cartoons, video games, music and virtually all other parts of popular media. However, although many may know Lovecraft’s creations, few people know the details of his extraordinary life. SOME NOTES ON A NON-ENTITY: THE LIFE OF H. P. LOVECRAFT is a graphic novel biography of this enigmatic and legendary writer.Based on years of research into the primary sources regarding Lovecraft’s life, this graphic novel spans Lovecraft’s youth to his later years. Episodes covered include his odd relationship with an overpowering mother; his brief sojourn in New York City and disastrous marriage; the creation of his most amazing tales; and his physically painful decline to an eventual death while considering himself a complete and utter failure.SOME NOTES ON A NON-ENTITY is a 120+ page graphic novel written by SAM GAFFORD and illustrated by JASON ECKHARDT. Gafford is a weird literature scholar who has written about Lovecraft for several critical magazines and is a founding organizer of the NecronomiCON convention which celebrates Lovecraft’s life and work. Eckhardt is an award winner artist who has received great acclaim for his covers for such publishers as Necronomicon Press, Hippocampus Press and others. Recently, his work has been featured in the highly reviewed ANNOTATED H. P. LOVECRAFT by Leslie Klinger. Together, these two respected creators have developed what will be considered THE graphic novel biography of the man who has been hailed as second only to Poe as America’s most important writer of weird literature.​​​​​​​

    In his youth Cain developed a sense of wonderment owed in part to TV shows like The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, One Step Beyond and Alfred Hitchcock Presents. Now Cain seeks the same dark overtones in his writing.There’s a little something for every reader. These 25 short speculative stories represent the smoldering remains of a blaze, the fiery bits meant to ignite the mind with slow-burning imagery and smoky twists and turns. These are the very embers of Cain’s soul.In this collection, Cain features stories of troubled men and women, both living and dead. Themes of loss and the afterlife take on many forms, as he explores the unknown. For instance, “The Chamber” focuses on a hardened veteran of World War II who has committed heinous crimes. He seeks only to find peace from his conscience, but sometimes that comes at a great loss. “Valerie’s Window” visits a small town amid a tragic end to humanity. Only things are not as they seem, and the more Valerie comes to know herself, the more her reality is revealed. “The Benefit of Being Weighty” has a humorous side, but the theme of this story revolves around fat shaming and the price one must pay for being so ignorant. Hopefully, these three short descriptions have increased your curiosity.When the dark comes, light a match. Let the fire burn bright and hot. So that when it dies the embers warm you.Table of Contents:• The Chamber• “Valerie’s Window”• “A Window to Dream By”• “Each New Day Unknown”• “Gone”• “Under the Drift of Snow is Another World”• “Blackbird’s Breath”• “Desolate”• “Lost in the Woods”• “Final Breaths”• “Closer”• “Flocking Birds”• “Pirouette”• “To Save One Life”• “Of Both Worlds”• “Breathing Cave”• “Soul Tapped”• “The Water People”• “Water Snake”• “Evolved”• “Buried Beneath the Old Chicago Swamps”• “The Bad Men”• “Parasite”• “Strip Poker, Crabs, and Blue Women”• “The Benefit of Being Weighty”Interview with the author:So what makes this collection of Dark Fiction so special?Cain: There are many qualities that go into making a book special for someone, which makes it hard to define. I’ve put my all into this collection of dark fiction, as I do each and every story I write. For me, it’s all about growth, and hopefully that continues to show in my work—that I’m growing as an author.Which short story is your favorite and why?Cain: I’m quite fond of “Valerie’s Window,” which is a bit of an urban fantasy. I like her internal conflict, what horrors she must overcome in order to set herself free. Without giving too much away, Valerie’s is a personal struggle, which often best reflects actual life.Why should readers give your short fiction a try?Cain: I think many readers will enjoy the stories, maybe even see a part of themselves battling evil forces. As I stated before, my primary goal in writing has always been growth, but I also strive to connect with my readers. I want to take them on an adventure. In this case, many short voyages, the sort you can go on during your lunch break or while you eat dinner. And I think readers will enjoy the wide variety of journeys I’ve set up for them in this collection.How would you classify your writing style?Cain: For short stories, I like them lean. I want my stories to move at a certain pace and voice, depending on the feel. I often refer to my work as being dark fiction, but it’s really a mix of genres: horror, suspense, thriller, noir, fantasy, dark fiction, urban fantasy, science fiction, or even weird fiction. I like to mash genres together, to blend them and see where that leads my characters, but there’s almost always a dark tone to each story.Categories for Embers:• Monster fiction• Supernatural stories• Dark fiction short stories• Single author short stories collection• Psychological horror and suspense• Horror short stories• Occult horror books• Short stories collections• Classic short stories• Scary short stories• Dark fantasy horror• Speculative fiction anthology“Not a squall, not a blizzard ... It's a pulp horror AVALANCHE! That's Kenneth W. Cain's new collection, Embers.”—Mort Castle, Bram Stoker Award® winner “Collections such as this are the reason that, even after 45 years, I still enjoy reading horror!”—Douglas Draa, Editor of Weirdbook Magazine“Kenneth W. Cain’s imagination is on full display here. He will take you by the hand, lead you into the darkest places, and you’ll be thanking him every harrowing step of the way. A bright new talent in horror.”—Ben Eads, author of CRACKED SKY“With prose that is sometimes poignant, sometimes unsettling, but always incredibly dark, Kenneth W. Cain takes readers on a macabre journey with the smouldering burn of ‘Embers.’ A master of weaving tales around seemingly simple premises and ordinary situations with every day folk, Cain never fails to turn a story on its head and deliver a long-lasting sting. You’ll need some genuine embers to warm you after this, for some of these tales will chill you to the core.”—JIM GOFORTH, author of PLEBS and THE SLEEP

     He didn’t realize that on any given day, the apocalypse looms closer than we think, or that our very existence often depends on the over-worked employees of a little-known government agency with a boring, forgettable name: The Bureau of External Affairs. But when Bo manages to clean up a bloodbath caused by an extra-dimensional entity who's poised to devour the universe as we know it -- and do it without his brain turning to gray goo -- Bo is tapped as the newest BEA recruit. For his first assignment on the job, he and his partner have to stop an underground cult in New York City dangerously close to bringing an eldritch god over to this realm. Their help is limited – two veterans are dead, the most senior field officer is in intensive care, and the head of the Bureau is healing from gunshot wounds while trying to keep the president from unleashing nuclear force. There's nothing quite like depending on two under-supported government employees to save the world. Tuesday’s Apocalypse is the first book in a series of thrilling, page-turning adventures where Lovecraftian horror and fast-paced action collide: The Dark Bureau. Buy Tuesday’s Apocalypse today!

    African Americans flee the oppressive South for greener pastures, creating a new culture in Harlem. The music of Fats Waller and Duke Ellington pours out of the city’s windows and doorways, and the sidewalks are crowded with women in stylish skirts with silk stockings, and men in white gloves and Chesterfield coats. There’s a feeling of possibility in the air, like never before. But even in this land of promise, Harlem is a powder keg. While classes and cultures collide, Lovecraftian horrors lurk beneath the streets, creeping through dark alleys and hidden doorways into the Dreamlands. What Great Old One shattered our reality? Can you hold it together and keep the Mythos at bay for one more song?

    In the collection's title story, you'll learn of a grotesque Egyptian revenant, forced by an evil power to destroy all living things in its path. In "The Lurker In The Kelp Forest," a wealthy family is plagued by a hideous aquatic monstrosity. "The Power Of Azalareon" takes you down a forbidden stone stairway into a slime-streaked cave, where dwells a nightmare being that can warp reality. "The Thing From Beyond The Living Door" features concepts from "Cool Air" as it tells the tale of G'hodloth, a vampiric entity that obeys the commands of the evil Mrs. Veng and her associate, Dr. Brandywine. "The Nightmare In Delapore Tower" is a modern-day continuation of the classic tale, "The Rats In The Walls," while "Another Terrible Old Man" goes into surreal sensual territory that "The Terrible Old Man" would never have explored. Mark McLaughlin is the author of BEST LITTLE WITCH-HOUSE IN ARKHAM, and Michael Sheehan, Jr. has co-authored THE ABOMINATIONS OF NEPHREN-KA, THE HORROR IN THE WATER TOWER, THE BLASPHEMY IN THE CANOPIC JAR, and SHOGGOTH APOCALYPSE with McLaughlin.

    P. Lovecraft—an entire universe of gods and monsters that hundreds of writers have imitated. But Shea has done a lot more than merely mimic Lovecraft’s prose or add a new god or “forbidden book” to the Mythos. In his Mythos tales, Shea has infused his own unique vision and perspective. The much-reprinted “Fat Face” takes us into the seedy underworld of prostitutes and drug dealers in San Francisco, while other tales such as “Dagoniad,” “Copping Squid,” and “Tsathoggua” vividly meld Lovecraftian cosmic horror with the contemporary world of California, with its swimming pools and beachcombers. Shea was also fascinated with Lovecraft’s novel of Antarctic horror, At the Mountains of Madness, and his stories “Under the Shelf” and “Beneath the Beardmore” take us to that frozen land of death and terror. The title story, “Demiurge,” is a previously unpublished novella that draws upon Lovecraft’s tales of psychic possession in its chilling portrayal of a nameless monster who may be the harbinger of the overthrow of the entire human race. Michael Shea (1946–2014) was the award-winning author of The Color out of Time, the Nifft the Lean series of fantasy novels, and the classic tales “Polyphemus” and “The Autopsy.” This volume of his complete Cthulhu Mythos tales has been assembled by S. T. Joshi, a leading authority on Lovecraft and the Mythos. This volume features wraparound cover artwork and five interior illustrations by renowned artist Aeron Alfrey (MADHOUSE).

    Among his early stories were "Rising With Surtsey"--August Derleth placed it between Fritz Leiber and Ramsey Campbell pieces in TALES OF THE CTHULHU MYTHOS--and "The Caller of the Black," in Arkham House's 1971 collection of that title. As editor after Derleth's passing, Ramsey Campbell put Lumley's "The Second Wish" after Stephen King's and before Frank Belknap Long's stories in NEW TALES OF THE CTHULHU MYTHOS--and on and on.While today he may be best known for the highly-acclaimed NECROSCOPE books and RPG, Brian has never stopped writing Mythos stories. This collection spans from 1975 to the present, thematically selected. Developing Derleth's idea that one way mere humans could try to grasp Mythos horrors was to consider them as Elementals, these yarns expand upon the pulpiest aspects. If you like your Mythos with numerology, amulets, and otherworldly talismans, this one's for you!Includes "The Gathering"--a previously-unpublished novel-length story original to this book--along with "Lord of the Worms," "Born of the Winds," and "The Changeling," each introduced by the author.

A fall is coming, a fall that has haunted Holmes' dreams, and now must be faced again, in the place where past and present become one, and two old foes meet for a final battle. Praise for William Meikle and The Dreaming Man “William Meikle’s ability to portray Holmes and Watson in a perfectly authentic fashion is nothing short of remarkable… he’s able to paint vivid, visceral imagery on the canvas of his reader’s mind, making you feel as if you’ve seen and experienced rather than read about the events of the story. And he can build a scene as well as anyone in the business… Whether you’re a fan of Sherlock Holmes or not, The Dreaming Man is damn good fiction!” HELLNOTES “For anyone who loves great storytelling and well-crafted stories this book is for you. For Sherlock Holmes fans this book is an absolute must and I highly recommend it!” FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND “Readers looking for superb supernatural spins with Holmes need look no further.” Rick Kleffel's AGONY COLUMN “Sir Arthur Conan Doyle would be proud. The feel of each story brings me back to those old tales of Sherlock Holmes, and one can easily believe that Meikle has unearthed some forgotten tome that contains all of the supernatural, extraterrestrial and just plain old unnatural adventures of Holmes and his trusty companion, Dr. Watson.” THE DEEPENING “Meikle writes Holmes and Watson with a warm friendship. Their interaction is reminiscent of the radio series featuring Rathbone as Holmes and Nigel Bruce as the story-telling Watson.” HORRORVIEW
