Within Stranger Aeons: Lovecraft's Mythos in the 21st Century

by Michael Fisher (Editor), H.P. Lovecraft, Mark Woods

There are dimensions beyond that which is known to man. They are realms as vast as space and older than time itself. In these realms are beings beyond light and shadow, beyond good and evil, and there lie harbingers of the end of the human age.

The stars are right.

Reviews

[Andy Peloquin · Rating 4 out of 5]

More than just short stories--a glimpse into a world where the horrors you dare not think of could very well come true!

As with any collection of short stories, there are some that hit the mark and some that fall short. A few of these are merely interesting tales, while others will send a shiver to the very marrow of your bones.

The first offering, composed by H.P. Lovecraft himself, sets the tone for the book. The brooding Chthonic feel of these stories will have you quaking in your shoes and turning the lights up just a bit brighter. You will never look at rock concerts, empty bathtubs, icy ponds, or the Everglades the same way again. If the authors of these shorts have their way, you will never sleep again…

I felt naked and afraid after consuming these dark nuggets of impending cosmic doom.

very nice anthology!

Though most of the tales show great promise, grammar or spelling errors sometimes brought my reading to a halt. Proofreading seems to be a lost art.
