Kingdom of ShadowsAuthor: Gifune, Greg F. |
|
|
The links in this entry are for the trade paperback edition which does not have the story Sorcerer as the special Alter 13 hardcover editions are all sold out. The write-up is for the Alter 13 edition. Limited to only 87 limited hardcovers. This special Altar 13 first hardcover edition includes a bonus novella (Sorcerer) that will only see print in this limited edition A band of desperate criminals . . . a seemingly deserted farmhouse guarded by the rotting remnants of scarecrows, the echoes of torture and depravity and the whispers of unholy nightmares . . . a dark night concealing terrible secrets, misery and long-suppressed horrors . . . One faraway, nearly forgotten night, this night, stands between the forsaken and deliverance, but they are not alone in the darkness. Something demonic dwells within . . . something luring them toward a separate kingdom . . . a kingdom of night . . . a kingdom of evil . . . A Kingdom Of Shadows . . . Fear the night. About The Bonus Novella, Sorcerer: Times are tough. Jeff McGrath has recently lost his job, and he and his wife Eden are having trouble making ends meet. Saddled with a mountain of growing bills, the prospect of being evicted from their apartment and an enigmatic homeless man who lives on the steps of their building and seems inexplicably drawn to the young couple, things look exceedingly bleak. But when one afternoon Jeff meets a beautiful businesswoman who wants to recruit him for a high-paying job at an internationally-renowned company owned by the wildly successful CEO Foster Hope, he thinks his luck may be changing. But what initially seems like the break of a lifetime soon becomes an unimaginable nightmare Jeff may never escape. Because an evil as ancient and elusive as the sands of time has come calling, nothing is as it seems, nothing happens by accident or chance, and one man’s dream-come-true may very well be another man’s descent into inconceivable horror. Careful what you wish for…evil has many names . . . The Undead Rat’s Note: |

Fiona and Grams includes two stories from Stoker award winning author Gene O’Neill Fiona After the death of her surrogate grandmother, Fiona moves from New York City to the quaint, rural community of Sleepy Hollow. When Fiona and her uncle’s trusty servant Benjy have a run in with school bully Hans Van Brunt, they become the target of the boy’s revenge. On the night of the autumn harvest celebration, Hans makes his move. But a Rorkun, an evil shadow spirit, is said to stalk the swamps around the tiny township, and the children are unwittingly gathering for a confrontation with dark magics. Grams Grams was funny in both senses of the word — both ha-ha and peculiar, sometimes at the same time. After her death, her house is sold and scheduled for demolition. When workers make a grim discovery in a hidden, sealed-off room, brothers Sonny and Vic are forced to revisit their childhood home — and some long-forgotten memories — one last time. |

But Heyton has a compulsion, one that has him cruising the streets in the seedy section of town, desperately searching for the perfect woman to satisfy his sick needs. Like an angel, she appears. The face of a cheerleader and the swollen, gloriously gravid body of a Madonna, she’s willing to sell her body for his fulfillment. Everything is about to go very wrong for Heyton. In a fleabag hotel room, he will learn an important lesson . . . “People are never what they seem.” From Edward Lee comes a story of fetishism and depravity that only the master of extreme horror could tell. |

The Innswich HorrorAuthor: Lee, Edward |
|
|
In July, 1939, antiquarian and H.P. Lovecraft aficionado, Foster Morley, takes a scenic bus tour through the wilds of northern Massachusetts. He wants to go where Lovecraft went, and to see what Lovecraft saw, to further distill his understanding of history’s most impacting horror fantasist. When he happens upon the curious, secluded waterfront prefect known as Innswich Point — not to be found on any map — he assumes the curiosity of the name is mere coincidence, but in less than twenty-four hours he’ll learn that he couldn’t be more mistaken. Deeper and deeper, then, Morley delves into the queer town’s dark mystique. Has his imagination run rampant, or are there far too many similarities between this furtive fishing village and the fictional town of Lovecraft’s masterpiece, The Shadow Over Innsmouth? Could it be possible that Lovecraft himself actually visited this town before his death in 1937? Join splatter king Edward Lee for a private tour of Innswich Point — a town founded on perversion, torture, and abominations from the sea. The Undead Rat’s Note: |

The Turtle Boy: Peregrine’s TaleAuthor: Burke, Kealan Patrick |
|
|
At eleven years of age, strange things started to happen to a boy named Timmy Quinn. His ordinary life was abruptly thrown into chaos by the revelation that there exists a separate plane of existence reserved solely for the vengeful spirits of the murdered: The Curtain. Worse, Timmy is a conduit for these monstrous entities, allowing them to walk freely between worlds to exact their brutal vengeance. His search for answers has taken him halfway around the world, forcing him to endure many horrors, among them the revelation that the spiritual realm known as The Stage may have been manmade, and that the dead do not operate of their own free will, but are instead influenced by an enigmatic figure known only as “Peregrine.” About this man, Timmy knows nothing. But he will learn, and in time, he will come to know Peregrine as an adversary worse than the vengeful dead. Herein lies the genesis of a monster. This is book six of the publisher’s Signature Series. The Undead Rat’s Note: |
