Overview
“Large helpings of old-fashioned atmospheric terror in tales that recall H. P. Lovecraft and the Weird Tales authors” from the Grand Master of Horror (Library Journal).Brian Lumley, best known for his national bestselling Necroscope series, has crafted a short story collection in the true tradition of H. P. Lovecraft. Spanning nearly twenty years in Lumley’s career, this “witch’s dozen” of his best, most frightening tales includes “The Viaduct,” where two young boys learn the truth about fear and death. The title story, “Fruiting Bodies,” in which a small village disappears, won the British Fantasy Award. Also included in this terrifying collection is an introduction by Lumley in which he discusses violence in horror fiction. This collection of frightening tales is sure to keep even the bravest reader awake at night.“Lumley aligns himself with the old school of horror . . . [His] well-crafted tales are satisfying entertainments.” —Publishers Weekly“A most enjoyable romp in the grue.” —School Library Journal“Witch’s dozen of 13 horror tales by Lumley, largely mainstream with just a touch of Lovecraft in the night . . . Outstanding here is the title piece, a tale that’s enough to make a collection like this worthwhile, not to say must-have.” —Kirkus Reviews
