Within the pages of this anthology of weird fiction, you'll find seventeen stories from a diverse group of international authors. Stories that plumb the depths of earth at least as deeply as they explore the human capacity for suffering and enlightenment. The cavern mouth awaits, as does the cistern with hidden depths, the tunnel that twists and writhes, the abyssal space that hums with unknown activity. Note the faint glow to the walls as you descend: mere phosphorescent fungi... or something more peculiar? There is a sound of rushing water that you can't place, and the suggestion of drums and strange flutes in the deep. The rock vibrates beneath the soles of your feet, and your headlamp flickers, fails. But then, you knew it would, eventually. This place is not for you, but here you are. Welcome to CHTHONIC: Weird Tales of Inner Earth. Featuring stories by Ramsey Campbell, Gemma Files, Orrin Grey, H. P. Lovecraft, Christopher Slatsky, Sarah Peploe, David Stevens, and more. With stunning black and white interior illustrations by aclaimed weird artist Fufu Fruenwahl. Edited by Scott R Jones. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

The expected Lovecraft inclusion is 'The Rats in the Walls', for the uninitiated that's the one with the famously badly named cat. Though on this upteenth reading it strikes me that the cat is treated a bit as a protagonist/hero, alerting the humans to danger, accompanying them in trying to investigate and stop it. Which made me reflect on it a bit differently.
I particularly loved John Linwood Grant's WWI period piece, Orrin Grey's 'Hollow Earths', and the deeply weird and nonlinear 'Some Corner of a Dorset Field that is Forever Arabia' by David Stevens, but as I said, there is not a weak entry in here. ( )
