Author Description

We start with an infestation of cosmic proportion in “Alates” before being treated to part II of Matthew M. Bartlett’s Ligottian nightmare “The Scapegrace.” Not everyone has quite the same holiday traditions. Witness a terrifying redefinition of the Santa Clause tradition in “The Night Before” by CHM alum RSL. Then, is the blizzard playing tricks on the eyes, or is there something else out there? Find out in “The Space Between the Lakes.” Continuing the holiday theme, a group of young men finds a box holding more than gifts in “A Very Regular Box.” A young couple loses themselves in the backcountry of Northern Australia in “All the Eyes that See” before a family gathers at the chapel of Azathoth for a funeral in “Her Tomb, Her Throne.” Stick around for the final installment of Algernon Blackwood’s “The Willows,” extracted from the deepest catacombs of The Crypt. We wish you a wonderful holiday season this year and again, thank you for turning to us for your cosmic horror and weird fiction needs.
