Sharks - the ultimate predators, masters of their watery domain, a
world that is entirely alien and inhospitable to man. So many
aspects of the shark are associated with humankind's most primal
fears. The tell-tale dorsal fin slicing through the water, the dead
eyed-stare, the gaping jaws full to unforgiving teeth, the
remorseless drive to kill and feed...Inspired by such classic pulp
movies as Jaws and Deep Blue Sea - as well as such ludicrous
delights as Sharknado and Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus - the stories
contained within are rip-roaring page-turners and slow-build
chillers that celebrate all things savage, pulp and selachian.
Covering the whole range of speculative fiction genres, from horror
and Steampunk, through to SF and WTF, these are stories with bite!
Come on in. The water's fine...

Shakespeare Vs Cthulhu An anthologie of fine stories inspir'd by
the Bard of Stratford and the Lovecraftian Mythos Imagine if it had
been William Shakespeare, England's greatest playwright, who had
discovered the truth about the Great Old Ones and the cosmic entity
we know as Cthulhu, rather than the American horror writer H P
Lovecraft. Imagine if Stratford's favourite son had been the one to
learn of the dangers of seeking after forbidden knowledge and of
the war waged between the Elder Gods in the Outer Darkness, and had
passed on that message, to those with eyes to see it, through his
plays and poetry. Welcome to the world of Shakespearean Cthulhu! To
mark the 400th anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare,
Snowbooks proudly presents fifteen stories of eldritch horror that
blend the Bard's most famous plays with Lovecraft's most terrifying
creations. But before you dip into this cursed tome, be warned -
that way madness lies...

that way madness lies...
Join vengeance-seeking ghouls in Dylath-Leen; an expedition to the
cursed ruins of an ancient city; a mercenary company with only one
criterion for recruits: they must already be dead. This anthology
recalls the pulp fantasy stories of the early- to mid-twentieth
century: from pulse-pounding sword & sorcery adventure to
chilling tales of the macabre, eldritch horrors, ruthless warriors,
and fabulous treasures await within
A courtesan turned assassin, a rogue weary of being a virtual slave
to his guild, a crippled warrior, a farm boy anxious to make a name
for himself, and an animated corpse reluctantly returned from the
dead are a few of the denizens of the City of Bathos whose stories
unfold in Escape from Devil's Head.
Each has their own agenda, and when their paths cross, cries of
betrayal and the clash of sword blades ring through the dim,
twisting alleys.
The adventure begins with an invitation to dinner and a story and,
for over 100 years, readers have accepted that invitation from
Carnacki, The Ghost Finder. Since his first appearance in 1912,
William Hope Hodgson's Carnacki has continued to thrill and amaze.
Armed with his scientific apparatus of cameras and the ever-present
'electric pentacle', Carnacki has investigated cases of hauntings
and terror both contrived and real Collected here are 11 new
stories, and one play, featuring Carnacki and his 'new adventures'
In these tales, he comes face to face with forces from the 'Outer
Monstrosities' as well as numerous specters and evil curses. Danger
and death are Carnacki's companions and there are things that even
the legendary SaaaMaaa Ritual cannot dispel. Thrill to these new
stories of a character who has entranced readers for a century and,
hopefully, a century yet to come
