Misanthropic tales of the macabre and the outre with a unique blend of the grotesque and the perverse. Enter the Lovecraftian universe of screaming horrors and Cthulhuvian insanity. Experience dark wonders and fantastic tales in bizarre worlds. These visions are what nightmares are made of. Throbbing at the heart of it all is the grotesque Lord Weyrdgliffe and his web of penny dreadfuls. In addition: bleak, satirical stories and essays with subjects ranging from the serious to the outrageous and hilarious, plus dark poetry. This collection has it all. Artwork by Allen Koszowski. Foreword by S. T. Joshi. ""I cannot speculate who his authorial parents are, perhaps Andre Breton, Jorge Luis Borges and Thomas Ligotti."" DON WEBB ""The works of Dan Clore collected in this collection are rare jewels of imaginative fiction ... Dan Clore is a mad monk, recording the fantastical histories of an insane alternate universe." SEAN O'LEARY"
