<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Cosmic horror based in H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos. A modern take on classic horror.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>What happens to humanity when Cthuhlu's dreams come to an end? The Cthulhu Mythos has touched and mutated humanity for ages. But in recent times, Mythos related activity has been on the rise. Why? What mysterious forces are causing an increase in these encounters, and what ultimately will be humanity's fate? Governments around the globe are working in secret to uncover and unravel the taint of cosmic horror that infects the planet. The stories contained in this book follow three investigators employed by a shadowy government agency as they encounter entities fueled by the malevolent energy of something known as The Other. As they peel back the layers obscuring the unknown horrors that inhabit the vast universe, the investigators enter a futile struggle against inhumanity, insanity and despair. This collection of linked short stories pulls the reader into the world of H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><strong>Selected reviews on the individual stories.</strong></p><p>On <em>It Came From The Sea</em> <strong>A Modern Cthuhlu-style tale that fits within the mythos.</strong> Great short story that feels completely plausible. Good characterization and pacing. Not the typical ending one would expect from such tales, but satisfying, nonetheless. I definitely recommend this read for anyone who likes the macabre. <em>-</em><em>ciofki</em><em>, May 12, 2019</em></p><p>On<em> It Slumbers Beneath The Ice: </em><strong> An out of this world read.</strong> This work captivated me. It was horror in your stereotypical sense but a science fiction horror that left me wanting to know more about "the Other". I have to say that Dr. Adele was a well-written character that I think accurately displayed what someone in her situation might do. -<em>Ashley, December 27, 2019</em></p><p>On <em>It Lives In The Woods: </em> <strong>Mythos Building.</strong> I am finding that Troy Young is building his mythos and his characters by carefully building upon the stories that came before. These stories are definitely meant to be read in order. I have long been a fan of the weird tale and have read, along with Lovecraft, some of the authors who have promulgated the mythos of HPL. Each addition brings its own perspective and insight. Troy Young is bringing a thoroughly modern feel to the age-old telling of the otherworldly story. - <em>Madelon Wilson, December 1, 2019</em></p><p>On <em>It Lurks In The Basement: </em> <strong>Atmospheric Horror.</strong> One of the truly terrifying aspects of Lovecraft's work, at least as I remember it, is derived from not actually knowing the monster in question. He terrified me with innuendo and descriptions of feelings. Troy Young is continuing this tradition of not throwing splatter and gore all over atmospheric horror. I'm sure we can all relate to that sudden noise in the middle of the night that begs investigation on the one hand and fear of that investigation on the other. - <em>Madelon Wilson, December 5, 2019</em></p><p> </p><br>
