Dead Lies Dreaming
Book Review
Dead Lies Dreaming
Charles Stross
Tor
10/27/2020
While this is technically the 10th Laundry Files book, Dead Lies Dreaming is more of a stand-alone story in the Laundry Files universe than a continuation of the series. There is an obvious nod to the Cthulhu Mythos in the title. While the story has Lovecraftian references, it is far from cosmic horror. An evil businessman wants…

Wrath of N'kai

Wrath of N’kai
Josh Reynolds
Aconyte Books
available on 9/1/2020
What we have here is a classic 1920’s pulp cthulhuoid classic: A noir Cthulhu Mythos horror mystery. It is an Arkham Horror novel, a tie in to the popular board game of the same name and published by Aconyte Books. This is a solid book at 336 pages so it definitely took me a few sittings to get through. I had an idea…

Out of Body by Jeffrey Ford
Out of Body by Jeffrey Ford
Out of Body By Jeffery Ford.
Published May, 2020 by Tor Publishing
Out of Body is a solid, fast-paced tale that delivers an imaginative and satisfying piece of dark fantasy with a sprinkling of horror. It’s a quick read at 176 pages. The protagonist is a small-town librarian named Owen whose quiet, lonely life quickly spirals into madness after being witness to a robbery/murder. I liked the way…

Borne
“We all just want to be people, and none of us know what that really means.” -Jeff Vandermeer, Borne
The Southern Reach trilogy was weird and cosmic. Borne is weird and quite humanistic. It is a post-apocalyptic story about a scavenger named Rachel who finds a biotech creature that resembles a sea anemone and raises it like a child. She names this creature Borne.
The story features your typical…

Distributed by: RLJE Films
American Release Date: 1/24/2020

I’m a little skeptical about Lovecraftian movie adaptations. I think weird fiction is challenging to bring to the screen, although it has been done satisfactorily on a few occasions. I’m not…

Red Equinox Audible Review
Red Equinox Audible Review
Red Equinox has received praise as a must-read for Lovecraft fans; and it is! Now you have a chance to listen to it, too. Even though I have already read this book, I was excited to listen to the audio-book. I really enjoyed revisiting the characters in this story, and reading the book beforehand only enhanced the experience of listening to it. (more…)

Walters’s collection of short stories is haunting, creepy, and beautiful. The author makes mundane…

Necronomicon Providence 2015 Convention Report
Necronomicon Providence 2015 Convention Report
It’s NecronomiCon…a place where outcasts rule, and everyone gets the nerdy reference on your t shirt. 2015 was the fourth NecronomiCon I have attended, and it was very different in two ways. First off, it was the first time that I brought my son. I had reservations about bringing a nine year old to a horror convention. He had a choice to spend a week with his grandmother at the beach, but decided…

Publisher: Post Mortem Press
Date Published: 2015
Category: horror, Lovecraftian, gore,
This is a fast-paced Lovecraftian horror story. I breezed through it in two sittings. The book is heavy on action and gore and has a little psychological horror thrown in. The story line is simple and includes some familiar horror tropes: an abandoned mental…

So, I’ve had all of this stuff going on, which has been interfering with my Lovecraftian reading. Hence, my neglected blog. I am hoping to start reading and posting again soon!

Book Review: Nick Nightmare Investigates
Nick Nightmare Investigates is a solid collection of detective/Cthulhu Mythos stories. These tales idealize the pulp fiction genre, with heroic characters that could have jumped out of a Golden Age comic book. While Cole is not the first author to write about a private eye that battles creatures from the Cthulhu mythos, his stories are well-written and readable.
