Dreams of Lovecraftian Horror
Whether set in the urban decay and horror of the world we know, in Lovecrafts Arkham, in Pugmires own Sesqua Valley, or in places and locales somewhere in between the mundane and decadent world of Pugmires visions, this collection of 14 Lovecraftian tales selected by the author seek to evoke similar strains (albeit in a bit more melancholic melody) of cosmic dread, terror and isolation as contained in the writings of H.P. Lovecraft.
This collection includes the following stories: Beyond the Realm of Dream, Graffito Flow, The Hour of Their Appetite, Cool Mist, Dust to Dust, Necronomicon, Gates Closed by Darkness, The Baleful God, Drink the Moon, The Thing in the Glen, The Audient Void, The Hungry Place, A Piece of Stone and The Totem Pole.
This is the authors first trade paperback collection, and the stories have been revised by the author for this publication. Cover and 15 interior illustrations by Stanley C. Sargent, inspired by the art of the Maya and Moche (pre-Incan) civilizations.

W. H. Pugmire
Wilum Hopfrog Pugmire (1951-2019) was a writer of horror fiction based in Seattle, Washington. His works typically are published as W. H. Pugmire (his adopted middle name derives from the story of the same title by Edgar Allan Poe) and his fiction often pays homage to Lovecraftian lore. Lovecraft scholar and biographer S. T. Joshi has described Pugmire as "the prose-poet of the horror/fantasy field; he may be the best prose-poet we have," and "perhaps the leading Lovecraftian author writing today."
