When people think of a Cthulhu Mythos story, they may think of a macabre tale set in a sinister rural town, or in a dilapidated seaside village. As far as characters are concerned, they expect deranged townspeople and wicked mystics, consulting moldy copies of ancient tomes.
But Mark McLaughlin and Michael Sheehan, Jr. are steering the Mythos in a new direction. In ABSOLUTELY MONSTROUS, you will find stories featuring pop stars, fashion models, performance artists, club kids, and drag queens. The stories are set on tropical islands, casinos, movie theaters, department stores, and other modern settings. There are even two stories about a deity whose cosmic domain encompasses the internet.
Stories in the collection include “Stainless Steel Sarcophagus,” “Another Terrible Old Man,” “Sea-Green Gown With Gold Buttons,” “It Isn’t What You Gnaw, It’s Who You Gnaw,” “The Embrace Of Kugappa,” and more.
