Cthulhu Deep Down Under: Volume 2
In tribute to H. P. Lovecraft, this book is an assortment of the finest Australian dark fiction, bringing you a second volume of Lovecraftian stories of wonder and dread. Featured are new tales by Silvia Brown, Robert Hood, Kirstyn McDermott, and Lee Murray. The collection takes readers back below the equator, into the bizarre and headlong towards horror. From mist-shrouded peaks and canyons of Melanesian islands, through rainforests and scorching deserts of the island continent of Terra Australis, and across the Tasman Sea to the inhospitable hinterlands of New Zealand.
