The Friendly Horror and Other Weird Tales (Paperback)

,
Be prepared to explore the Everyday with a macabre, decidedly Lovecraftian twist, where anything is possible. The landscape of their collective imagination allows the mundane world to transcend into a place where kittens journey in time and space, and sometimes pick up hitchhikers... where humans aren't the only ones who bring their children to work....where storms can become creatures with their own appetite... and where a simple ice cream cone takes on a nefarious edge. The titular piece, "The Friendly Horror" is a contemporary post-script to "Shadows over Innsmouth."

"This charming book is a ...delightful celebration of that delicious state of being called 'Lovecraftian.' ...this duo can write, with excellent effect...." -W. H. Pugmire

"Ever wonder what goes through the mind of a fledgling Deep One? With 'Friendly Horror' ... I think people are going to be blown away by this take on a Lovecraft-inspired tale. It's one of the most original concepts I've seen in the genre. Highly recommended " -Mars Homeworld

"Get ready to enjoy a tale that I read with the speed and voracity of one eating a melting ice cream cone -regardless of the possible consequences......" -Jason McKittrick
