Torn Realities
Edited by Paul Anderson.
"This is a
terrifically absorbing, thought-provoking and finely crafted anthology
encompassing a grand thematic structure. Bravo!" - Creature Feature's Tomb of Dark Delights.
"This anthology is packed with talented up and coming writers, who pay their
dues to Lovecraft while keeping things appropriate for a contemporary
readership. Torn Realities is a book that belongs in any horror fan's
collection. ...a great homage, a book Lovecraft would be proud of." -

This is not your typical Cthulhu anthology!
"Torn Realities" deals with Lovecraft's themes of forbidden knowledge, the
idea that we are essentially untethered from the workaday world. "Torn
Realities" explores lunacy-inducing creatures predating the dawn of man- keeping Lovecraft's most famous theme (the idea of mind-boggling other
gods) more general. The stories in this book actively seek the gray area in horror with tales of regular people in irregular situations.
Contains 19 Lovecraft inspired stories from: J. W. Schnarr, Jamie Lackey, C. Deskin Rink, Philip Roberts, C. M. Saunders, Clive Barker, Brad Carter, Kathryn Board, James S. Dorr, Gerard Houarner, Kenneth W. Cain, Joseph
Williams, Mitch Richmond, Lee Davis, Matt Moore, Jessica McHugh, Bob
Mustin, Jeff Suess, and Allie Marini Batts.
