The book comes in four editions: e-book, standard paperback with black and white illustrations, special paperback with colour illustrations, signed numbered hardcover and leather-bound slipcased lettered edition of only twenty-six copies. There are twenty-two all-new stories with just as many illustrations by M. Wayne Miller and Vincent Chong providing the cover.
Each author puts his spin on the Cthulhu Mythos; Darreil Schweitzer’s Roman legionnaire attempts to rationalize and explain the unexplainable terror he witnessed in the night; Tim Curran’s war veterans now employed as night guards at a secret science station, faced with immense, other-dimensional evil decided that denial was the most sensible choice; John Shirley’s Loyalty is futuristic/SF horror with Cthulhu as a weapon (that of course, has its own repercussions); Wunderwaffe by Jeffrey Thomas takes us to the outer space human colony of Paxton a.k.a. Punktown; W.H. Pugmire is writing in Lovecraft’s lyrical style with an ending that will raise the hairs on your neck; William Meikle’s Broadsword is a fast adventure story that just could be a Where Eagles Dare reference.
