Fans of H. P. Lovecraft will rejoice in—and recoil from—these nineteen mesmerizing tales of cosmic horror. This long-awaited sequel to the bestselling anthology Lovecraft’s Monsters is once again presided over by expert horror editor Ellen Datlow (FEARS, Body Shocks). Lovecraft’s Brood is a must-add to any horror fan’s library…or else.

“Superstar editor Datlow makes no missteps.” —Publishers Weekly

A prison guard and a convict have an affair fueled by the hallucinations of fungal spores. Squatters arrive in a weird train station, where they unearth a strange idol. Researchers discover skin thieves instead of normal turtles. A mezcal-tasting tour turns utterly terrifying. An old woman stitches a portal that is disrupted by a nameless cat.

Discover the Mythos as you’ve never experienced it before. These dizzying new spins on classic Lovecraftian themes will leave you disoriented, but sane (we hope—we make no promises).
