Publisher's Synopsis
Ten tales of horror and dark fantasy, each with the retro-vintage flair readers have come to appreciate from the Curiosities anthology series. A poet makes a passage with death. A solitary monster meets another. Nazi war experiments run amuck on the Eastern Front. Unsettling sounds follow you through the New England woods. A sea captain takes in a mermaid, though it may be his doom. One very monstrous clock. And more.From the gothic to the grotesque, these exhibits will have you trading your steampunk browns for gothic blacks, and back again. Featuring a guest editorial on the roots of cosmic horror by the queen of cosmic horror herself, Mary SanGiovanni.
