From Jordan Krall, the author of TENTACLE DEATH TRIP and FISTFUL OF FEET comes this collection of Lovecraftian tales of horror both cosmic and personal. This is a collection of cryptic weird fiction... dreamlike and ominous in its style and subject matter. Krall goes beyond the tropes of Mythos literature and has presented the reader with an original approach to Lovecraftian fiction.
**Review
"When I first read Thomas Ligotti's line 'True macabrists are as rare as poets', I knew precisely what he meant. So when I discover a work by a true macabrist, I cherish it. NIGHTMARES FROM A LOVECRAFTIAN MIND by Jordan Krall is just such a book. Poetic, deranged, and imbued with the whiff of the charnel house, NIGHTMARES is a tapestry of finely-wrought fever dreams." - Richard Gavin, author of OMENS and AT FEAR'S ALTAR Views: 11

Striker desperately searches for an answer to this question. When he
discovers it, a stark coldness fills him. For he begins to understand.
