Lonely and Curious Country: Tales from Lovecraft Country
Matthew Carpenter, ed.
“When a traveller in north central Massachusetts takes the wrong fork at the junction of the Aylesbury pike just beyond Dean's Corners, he comes upon a lonely and curious country.” –HP Lovecraft
Horror can lurk in the most unlikely places: from the secluded cottage to the teeming metropolis. Lovecraft knew that terror could be rooted in the geography of a place as much as in an uncaring cosmos or a man's soul. In these 17 brand-new tales of chilling Lovecraftian horrors by leading authors, discover new lands of terror. Learn the truth about the glories of Y'ha-nthlei and what really happened to Erich Zann. Discover the fate of Tillinghast's monstrous machine and do a deal with Nyarlathotep down in the byways of Mississippi. Sometimes that lonely farmhouse, brooding silently in its isolation, can be more terrifying than forgotten monoliths on an uncharted Pacific island.
Introduction by Matthew Carpenter, with stories by Steven Prizeman, Sean Farrell, K H Vaugh, Pete Rawlik, Rebecca Allred Christine Morgan, Susan Hicks Wong, Damir Salkovic, Jonathan Titchenal, Cliff Biggers, Brian M. Sammons & Jamie D. Jenkins, Kevin Wetmore, Don Webb, Brett Davidson, Robert M. Price, Paul R. McNamee, and Aaron J. French.
