Tales that all play into one another through time and space. First we have our anchor story Land of .Oz, the latest in The Sinclair Narratives where everyone’s favorite immortal, Henry Sinclair, needs to fight off an army of genies with the help of Mark Twain, Nikola Telsa, and Theodore Roosevelt to prevent a British Invassion led by Cecil Rhodes. Then we go into Three Skeleton Key by George G. Toudouze, the old time radio favorite made famous by Vincent Price. A tale of three lighthouse keepers held captive in the light by a horde of rats. Then we have a tale written by Robert Bloch (author of Psycho) set in a basement attached to the creepy tunnels in Arkham where a mysterious beast creeps in Creeper in the Crypt. Up next is Lisa Deschenes’ tale of a man’s hatred for squirrels that does not end well in The Gathering. This follows into Evelyn E. Smith’s Man’s Best Friend about a slacker who wakes up to find he has been chosen the next leader, as the prior leader willingly waits for his assassination. Our last story is by the comic legend Robert Sheckley, Something for Nothing in which a wishing machine just appears inside his living room one day. Six tales that weave in and out of each other. Can you discover all of their secrets of how they fit together? Give it a read and find out.
