The collection is presented as a sequel to *Lovecraft’s Monsters*, offering another anthology-length entry point into contemporary takes on the Mythos.

Book overview

Fans of H. P. Lovecraft will rejoice in--and recoil from--these lovingly illustrated and mesmerizing tales of cosmic horror. This long-awaited sequel to the bestselling anthology Lovecraft's Monsters is once again presided over by expert horror editor Ellen Datlow (FEARS) and award-winning artist John Coulthart. Lovecraft's Brood is a must-add to any horror fan's library...or else.

[STARRED REVIEW] "Fans of literary horror that gives the psychological impact of terrifying developments their due will be rapt." --Publishers Weekly

A prison guard and a convict have an affair fueled by the hallucinations of fungal spores. Squatters arrive in a weird train station, where they unearth a strange idol. Researchers discover skin thieves instead of normal turtles. A mezcal-tasting tour turns utterly terrifying. An old woman stitches a portal that is disrupted by a nameless cat.

Discover the Mythos as you've never experienced it before. These dizzying new spins on classic Lovecraftian themes will leave you disoriented, but sane (perhaps).
