Nyarlathotep has returned….

Mark McLaughlin, Bram Stoker Award-winner for Excellence in Poetry, has concentrated on Lovecraftian fiction in recent years. His latest release, THE ARRIVAL OF OUR NEW MASTER, is an epic poem which tells of the return of Nyarlathotep to the modern world. This poem is composed of multiple chapters, and together they pay homage to “The Colour Out of Space,” “The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath,” “The Dreams in the Witch House,” “The Cats of Ulthar,” and other classic tales by Lovecraft.

People believe that Caliban Storm, son of wealthy Bernard Storm, offers the wisdom and guidance that the world has needed for so long. But in truth, there is something very wrong with young, handsome Caliban. He is in fact an avatar of Nyarlathotep, a malevolent deity also known as the Crawling Chaos.

Caliban Storm presents the world with a series of amazing technological advances as he rises in power. But, each advance comes with monstrous surprises, and it soon becomes apparent that Caliban has a nightmare agenda in store for the Earth. A homeless woman named Penny Blanchard sees through his tricks – but who will believe her, and will she be able to stop Caliban in time?

McLaughlin’s latest trade paperback releases are the novels, HUMAN DOLL, THE HELL NEXT DOOR, and INJECTABLES.

McLaughlin has co-authored the Lovecraftian fiction collections, HORRORS & ABOMINATIONS, THE HOUSE OF THE OCELOT, THE ABOMINATIONS OF NEPHREN-KA, THE HORROR IN THE WATER TOWER, THE BLASPHEMY IN THE CANOPIC JAR, SHOGGOTH APOCALYPSE, THE RELIC IN THE EGYPTIAN GALLERY, THE CREATURE IN THE WAXWORKS, and THE TESTAMENT OF CTHULHU with Michael Sheehan, Jr. Also, Mark McLaughlin is the coauthor, with Rain Graves and David Niall Wilson, of THE GOSSAMER EYE, which won the 2002 Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in Poetry.

Mark’s fiction, nonfiction, and poetry have appeared in more than 1,000 magazines, newspapers, websites, and anthologies, including DARK FUSIONS: WHERE MONSTERS LURK!, GALAXY, LIVING DEAD 2, WRITER’S DIGEST, CEMETERY DANCE, MIDNIGHT PREMIERE, DARK ARTS, and two volumes of YEAR’S BEST HORROR STORIES (DAW Books).

In “The Testament Of Cthulhu,” an ailing traveler visits a community with a hideous secret – a secret that might be the answer to his complex medical problems. “The Ambassador From Ulthar” tells of a young man who cannot escape his fate after injuring a denizen of the Dreamlands. While escaping from an abusive relationship, an aspiring writer encounters an unlikely ally in “The Sea-Spider.” A grotesque deity exacts a terrible and unspeakably complete vengeance in “The Foul One Lives To Destroy: A Tale Of The Dreamlands.” “Sea-Green Gown With Gold Buttons” presents a tale of THE KING IN YELLOW, a forbidden book that brings madness to those who dare to read it. A young performer is caught in a web of horror when he falls in love with a citizen of Carcosa.

US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07696HR14/

THE CREATURE IN THE WAXWORKS offers nightmare tales of weird and Lovecraftian horror from the authors of THE ABOMINATIONS OF NEPHREN-KA and SHOGGOTH APOCALYPSE. “The Surprising Sweetness Of Their Blood,” a sequel to Lovecraft’s “The Dunwich Horror,” reveals an unspeakable horror hidden in the town of Dunwich, brought to hideous new life by the meddling of a well-meaning outsider. In the collection’s title story, a ghastly alien creature hides in plain sight at the Pickman Waxworks, and only one man knows its millennia-old secrets … and its shocking new agenda. “The Gateway To Carcosa” is a tale of The King In Yellow,  a forbidden book that brings madness and death to anyone who dares to read it. “Aunt Paloma” takes you to a mansion of horrors where a dying woman must contend with her predatory relatives as she guides her bizarre man-child to his singular destiny. “Nobody Goes To Paw Paw Town Anymore” tells of a community that guards its horrors well – because the town’s monstrous secret is also its primary source of income. In “The Glorious Return Of Herbert West,” a deceased doctor who specialized in reanimation is resurrected in the far future, so he can help a team of scientists to fight the legions of shoggoths that are destroying the Earth. But certainly the team is not prepared for the good doctor’s latest prescription….

THE RELIC IN THE EGYPTIAN GALLERY presents the writing duo’s most bizarre Cthulhu Mythos stories yet.

In “The Lurker In The Kelp Forest,” a wealthy family is plagued by a hideous aquatic monstrosity. “The Power Of Azalareon” takes you down a forbidden stone stairway into a slime-streaked cave, where dwells a nightmare being that can warp reality.

“The Thing From Beyond The Living Door” features concepts from “Cool Air” as it tells the tale of G’hodloth, a vampiric entity that obeys the commands of the evil Mrs. Veng and her associate, Dr. Brandywine. “The Nightmare In Delapore Tower” is a modern-day continuation of the classic tale, “The Rats In The Walls,” while “Another Terrible Old Man” goes into surreal sensual territory that “The Terrible Old Man” would never have explored.
