Publisher's Synopsis
A collection of modern fables set in the world of H.P. Lovecraft's 'cthulhu mythos'. But here you will find no slavish aping of Lovecraft's baroque, gothic style. Nor is there any evidence of the tired and overused conventions and tropes of the usual 'tributes'. Marsh (and her friends) have written these pieces with care and thought and although they deconstruct and reconstrue the world of the mythos, they are at the same time, totally faithful to its premises and its self-contained reality. From the genuinely chilling 'Primogen' to the poignancy of 'Orca's Leap', this collection contains tales of Sci Fi, horror, existential allegory, often at the same time. There is a lot of wry, dark humour and much to irk the purists, but at the end of the day, it's a collection unlike any others out there.
