| 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.
