Lizzie Borden took an axe and gave her mother forty whacks; and when she saw what she had done, she gave her father forty-one....   The people of Fall River, Massachusetts, fear me. Perhaps rightfully so. I remain a suspect in the brutal deaths of my father and his second wife despite the verdict of innocence at my trial. With our inheritance, my sister, Emma, and I have taken up residence in Maplecroft, a mansion near the sea and far from gossip and scrutiny.   But it is not far enough from the affliction that possessed my parents. Their characters, their very souls, were consumed from within by something that left malevolent entities in their place. It originates from the ocean’s depths, plaguing the populace with tides of nightmares and madness.   This evil cannot hide from me. No matter what guise it assumes, I will be waiting for it. With an axe.  

When psychic travel agent Leda Foley is approached by a man searching for his sister, she agrees to help.

Leda and Grady will need one dog, a fair share of teamwork, and perhaps a bit of clairvoyant karaoke to solve their cases.

Tales of tentacles, terror, and madness from the publisher who brought you Wastelands, The Living Dead, and Brave New Worlds First described by visionary author H. P. Lovecraft, the Cthulhu mythos encompass a pantheon of truly existential cosmic horror: Eldritch, uncaring, alien god-things, beyond mankind’s deepest imaginings, drawing ever nearer, insatiably hungry, until one day, when the stars are right.… As that dread day, hinted at within the moldering pages of the fabled Necronomicon, draws nigh, tales of the Great Old Ones—Cthulhu, Yog-Sothoth, Hastur, Azathoth, Nyarlathotep, and the weird cults that worship them—have cross-pollinated, drawing authors and other dreamers to imagine the strange dark aeons ahead, when the dead-but-dreaming gods return. Now, intrepid anthologist Ross E. Lockhart has delved deep into the Cthulhu canon, selecting from myriad mind-wracking tomes twenty-seven sanity-shattering stories of cosmic terror. Featuring fiction by many of today’s masters of the menacing, macabre, and monstrous, including Laird Barron, Caitlín R. Kiernan, and Thomas Ligotti, The Book of Cthulhu goes where no collection of Cthulhu mythos tales has gone before: to the very edge of madness... and beyond! Do you dare open The Book of Cthulhu?

Vydejte se na výlet do hororového prostředí americké jižanské gotiky. Státní silnice 177 se táhne podél močálu Okefenokee ve státě Georgie. Když tudy člověk projíždí od východu k západu, mine na trase před vstupem do parku šest mostů. Když ale jede od západu k východu, může jich jednou za čas potkat i sedm. Raději by však měl doufat, že se tak nestane… Titus a Melanie Bellovi jsou na cestě do parku Okefenokee, aby tam strávili líbánky plavbou po močálu na kánoi. Než dorazí na místo určení, kde na ně čeká rezervovaná chatka, potká je na cestě malé zdržení. Vozovka se začne zužovat a oni jsou nuceni zastavit před starým vratkým mostem s kamennými pilíři, kudy může projet maximálně jedno auto. Když se později Titus probudí uprostřed silnice, po mostě se slehla zem a stejně tak i po jeho ženě. Zavolá tedy na policii, kde mu ale oznámí, že na Státní silnici 177 se žádný takový most nenachází… Napínavý hororový román se svéráznými postavami a ještě svéráznějším jižanským městečkem, který vás dost možná na čas odradí od návštěvy jakéhokoliv močálu.
