In The Shadow of the Eldritch and Other Lovecraftian Horrors

PREORDER NOW!

Readers raved about Peter Rawlik’s collection The Cthulhu Heresy and Other Lovecraftian Sins, and now Weird House is pleased to present In the Shadow of The Eldritch and Other Lovecraftian Horrors, a collection of works written in partnership with long-time friend and editor Sal Ciano.  Consisting of fourteen pieces, the vast majority of which have never been published before, Rawlik and Ciano take Lovecraft’s horrors in new directions exploring what hides in the reservoir outside Arkham and deep beneath that witch-haunted city’s streets.  They contemplate what might hide just up the beach, and in the cacophony of cosmic noise that constantly bombards our planet.  Familiar faces, including Randolph Carter and Herbert West – well, his handiwork at least – lurk here, as well as vampires and other classic monstrosities, bolstered with just a hint of cosmic terror.  The anchor to this outstanding collection is the brand-new novelette In the Shadow of the Eldritch, an exploration of an apocalyptic landscape, wrapped in cosmicism, and driven by humanity’s unstoppable need to understand the universe no matter what the cost!

PRAISE FOR PETE RAWLIK

“Rawlik rampages through Lovecraft country like a grave-robber on formaldehyde . . .not so much a writer to watch as one to keep under constant supervision, animal tranquilizers, and heavy restraints.”
- Cody Goodfellow on Reanimators

“Rawlik is one of today’s great conjurers of mythos, magic, mayhem, and monsters.”
- Philip Fracassi on Strange Company and Others

“Is Lovecraftian pulp-punk a thing?  Because that’s what Rawlik’s doing here, at its action-packed, cinematic best!”
- Christine Morgan on Strange Company and Others

“Pete Rawlik is one of the most prolific and talented Lovecraftian writers out there.  His work is a joy to read.”
- Darkness Dwells

“Dead Sea is an epic horror novel, and delightfully claustrophobic and reminiscent of Lovecraftian lore, a lengthy voyage into a genuinely chilly, fog-drenched horror novel that all fans should experience.”
- Paperback Stash

“Horror is a lot of fun, and Worm is proof of that. If you’re looking for very complex plots with descriptive passages that belong in classic Russian novels and characters with full back stories, look elsewhere. However, if you’re looking for a taut, fun, grisly read, ignore the stench and sink your teeth into this one.”
- Mike Davis

“Pete Rawlik tells great, fun, and incredibly readable stories in many styles, genres, and voices.  Dig in and Bon Appetit.”
- Brian Sammons
