The world is at war against things that slink and gibber in the darkness, and titans that stride from world to world, sowing madness and death. War has existed in one form or another since the dawn of human civilization, and before then, Elder terrors battled it out across this planet and this known universe in ways unimaginable.It has always been a losing battle for our side since time began. Incidents like the Innsmouth raid, chronicled by H.P. Lovecraft, mere blips of victory against an insurmountable foe. Still we fight, against these incredible odds, in an unending nightmare, we fight, and why? For victory, for land, for a political ideal? No, mankind fights for survival.Our authors, John Shirley, Mark Rainey, Wilum Pugmire, William Meikle, Tim Curran, Jeffrey Thomas and many others have gathered here to share war stories from the eternal struggle against the darkness. This book chronicles these desperate battles from across the ages, including Roman Britain, The American Civil War, World War Two, The Vietnam Conflict, and even into the far future.

A Collection of Lovecraftian War Stories

World War Cthulhu

After a nuclear holocaust, the survivors of a mental hospital struggle to find some sense of order among the chaos. Imprisoned within the hospital itself, a particular group of crazy inmates attempt to locate the legendary Z Room which offers the only way out of the intricately mazed institution. Z Room is a satirical take on the Nuclear Holocaust, where the clinically insane and deviant finally discover the stability and moral fabric they need in order to survive. But it is more than just that. IT is a redefinition of the nuclear family and a celebration of the tribal sense of community.

Out of the Z Room

Brown has become tramatized by the random violence of the city and the intense alienation of human existence. In an effort to escape, he 'disappears' into the rural landscape of America, where he encounters an eccentric family and much more than he had ever bargained for. Becoming Brown is an existential examination of the American Psyche, as the novel explores both man's indifference to himself, as well as his fellowman. It is only when Brown's environment changes and brutality takes on an immediate cause, that he comes to realize the essence of being a human being in the world.

Becoming Brown

Clifton and Tricia Long are on Holiday in the Black Forrest of Germany when they become victims of a terrorist attack. The novel, within a novel, follows Clifton's attempt to survive after witnessing a horrific incident, in which he discovers that existence probes deeper than physical reality, and that there is nothing more misleading than simple innocence. The novel within a novel consists of excerpts from a manuscript Clifton had been working on prior to his trip to Germany. Within it, he conceals elements of his former life, even though his 'novel' follows in the footsteps of a sadistic murderer. Delusions explores the nature of evil both historically and personally, and conjours up the notion that, subconsciously, we are all susceptible to darkness.

Delusions

G Day is basically man’s attempt to murder God for leaving the world in such “dire” conditions. The team of assassins includes a Harvard educated Cyclops; his assistant, composed of ancient dust, named UGH; a mysterious woman with a somber history of sexual abuse name, None,; A woman employed by the C.I.A., previously a statue in a museum, named Ida; a scientist with a half omniscient mind, name Dr. Sseus; twenty-seven past presidents; and Dr. Pangloss the Programmer. God, not wanting to take any of the blame, assigns the devil to assume his role during the tribulation, only he must refer to himself as (“God”) The misadventures that occur only leave the world in an “utter mess” with absolutely no one in charge and the most unexpected resolution of all.

G Day

The poems in this collection comprise a unity of poetic imagination. The connective tissue between them is a union of both time and space. Poetry’s aim is to cast light on human experience, and even though several of these poems consist of inanimateness, each poem is still endowed with a familiar spirit, a whispering demon, a meditated plan of action.

Conversing with Stones

“The dust roamed, and in its midst, the code ...” Thus begins the revelations of Occultus Liber, an epic tale of the journey of civilization through time and space. With its collective cast of extraordinary characters both mythological and real, the quest to discover the fate of planet Earth leads to a bizarre odyssey of Biblical proportions. Satire abounds as dozens of players join the chase to dismantle God and claim the world as their own in this “prophetic” novel.

Occultus Liber

Absurdity, social realism, and the in–depth examination of the human condition are but a few of the themes that comprise the contents of the seventy–three short stories breathing menacingly between the covers of this book. Humor attacks surrealism on a landscape sun-saturated with saintly thought and intense clarity — creation’s first simple act of pure effervescence getting drowned.
