EOM: Equal Opportunity Madness

by Michelle Stengel

In the depths of the cosmos there is madness to be found and there are stories to be told. . . The Elder Gods, Cthulhu, Nyarlethotep, and the like have a taste for fear, for madness, for flesh. . . But over the years they have grown bored with the taste of the standard straight, white male so often portrayed in the tales of the Mythos. Like a human being with a hankering for Thai after a steady diet of steak and potatoes, the Gods of the Mythos are craving something different. . . An African Igbo head man defends his tribe against eldritch incursion with the help of his own Gods. . . A deeply scarred man gathers strength from Sobek, the Egyptian God who claimed him young, as he stands against the horrors shoulder to shoulder with a Priestess of Bast. . . A Jewish lesbian rides into town to save it from the Unspeakable, with a little help from her girlfriend and her rich heritage. . . All this and more await you in these pages. Welcome to equal opportunity madness. . .

This was the product of a Kickstarter and I'm glad I chipped in. A collection of short stories by a variety of authors, the writing quality and story strength varies widely, but skews well-enough that the stories are enjoyable, for the most part. A quick, brain candy read for those who like such things.

Brighter in tone than most books I tend to read, but the collection stands out as a diverse collection of Lovecraft inspired stories.
