“The God of the Asteroid”
The first part of this story is basically a retelling of Lovecraft’s submarine horror but on a spaceship. Then it turns from a more or less regular horror story to something more psychological as one of the astronauts is entombed alive in the wreck of his ship and treated like a God by the insect-people who inhabit the asteroid. And THEN, well, who knows for sure?

“The Colossus of Ylourgne”
An Averoigne tale where a horrid necromancer raids grave after grave in order to build an enormous flesh golem that he inhabits. His reign of terror reminds me of Barker’s “Rawhead Rex”, just with significantly less gore (I mean, compared to Barker) and leaving the most twisted tortures to the reader’s imagination.

“The Supernumerary Corpse”
A bizarre not quite horror story where a chemist tailors a super-poison to get one over on his rival, only to find that somehow or other it resulted in the creation of a second corpse in its own house. The story skirts a fine line between psychological (the MC’s triumph was a hallucination) or just plain weird, in which case, what is the mechanism for the extra body???
