| book description |

John Langan, author of the Bram Stoker Award-winning novel The Fisherman, returns with ten tales of cosmic horror. In these stories, he continues to chart the course of 21st Century weird fiction, from the unfamiliar to the familial, the unfathomably distant to the intimate. A Halloween haunted house becomes a conduit to something ancient and uncanny. The effigy of a movie monster becomes instrumental in a young man's defence against a bully. A family diminishes while visiting a seaside town, leaving only one to remember what changed. Lured in by fate, a father explores a mysterious tower, and comes face to face with the creature imprisoned within. Mourning his death, a young man travels to his father's hometown, seeking closure, but finds himself beset by dreams of mythic bargains and a primaeval, corpse-eating titan. Praise for John Langan'A writer whose work will unnerve you as deeply as Shirley Jackson's' Washington Post 'John Langan is fishing for your sleep, for your soul I fear he's already got mine' Stephen Graham Jones 'Horror at its sharpest and most imaginative' Paul Tremblay 'A beast of a contemporary horror writer' Laird Barron 'One of the finest practitioners of the moody tale ... whenever John Langan publishes a book I am going to devour that book' Victor LaValle
