There are few things as enjoyable as a good book except, perhaps, a cursed one.
Presenting the best in cursed books, evil libraries, malicious paintings, and a host of other eldritch works of art, Strange 2024 brings you fifteen stories of artistic cosmic horror in the tradition of H. P. Lovecraft, Robert Howard, and Clark Ashton Smith.
With tales by Raven Jakubowski, J. Edward Tremlett, Joachim Glage, Tais Teng, Josh Hanson, Gregory L. Norris, Greg Chamberlain, Damir Salkovic, Nick Wisseman, David A. Riley, Lena Ng, Zary Fekete, Mike Adamson, P. Matthew Kimmel, and your host, M. Keaton with original art by Joel Martin.
M. (R) Keaton has the traditional author's resume: a wildly diverse series of jobs to supplement a lifetime of writing. He has installed poultry equipment, dug graves, called the rain, and worked as an environmental chemist for over a decade. And that just scratches the surface.
From a literary standpoint, he has put words on paper for money for almost forty years. He has written fiction, non-fiction, filler text, and operating procedures in every form from work-for-hire to under his own imprint. He has worked as an author, editor, and publisher.
None of which matters. What matters is, can he tell a good story? It appears that the answer is, at least in the opinion of his readers, yes.
