Nineteen Tales of Cosmic Horror
by Ellen Datlow
Fans of H. P. Lovecraft will rejoice in―and recoil from―these nineteen mesmerizing tales of cosmic horror. This long-awaited sequel to the bestselling anthology Lovecraft's Monsters is once again presided over by expert horror editor Ellen Datlow (FEARS, Body Shocks). Lovecraft's Brood is a must-add to any horror fan's library…or else.
A prison guard and a convict have an affair fueled by the hallucinations of fungal spores. Squatters arrive in a weird train station, where they unearth a strange idol. Researchers discover skin thieves instead of normal turtles. A mezcal-tasting tour turns utterly terrifying. An old woman stitches a portal that is disrupted by a nameless cat.
Discover the Mythos as you've never experienced it before. These dizzying new spins on classic Lovecraftian themes will leave you disoriented, but sane (we hope―we make no promises).
"Fans of literary horror that gives the psychological impact of terrifying developments their due will be rapt." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Ellen Datlow's taste as an editor is legendary. In Lovecraft's Brood, she shows us why. The stories here range in style and mood, showing just how far cosmic horror can stretch itself and still satisfy. I had a blast reading this book." ―Victor LaValle, author of The Ballad of Black Tom
"Ellen Datlow and Tachyon are a match made in hell. Tachyon consistently puts out my favorite short story anthologies, and Lovecraft's Brood is no exception. They've turned me into a cosmic horror fan. I won't sleep for weeks." ―Bonnie Jo Stufflebeam, author of Grim Root
