novelist until his latest book is condemned for appropriating the
experience of victims of abuse. In a bid to rescue his reputation

"An absolute master of modern horror. And a damn fine writer at
that"- Guillermo del Toro It's Ray's and Sandra's first family
holiday in Greece, on the island of Vasilema. The skies are
cloudier than anywhere else in Greece, and they're intrigued by
local eccentricities-the lack of mirrors, the outsize beach
umbrellas, the saint's day celebrated with an odd nocturnal ritual.
Why are there islanders who seem to follow the family wherever they
go? Why do Sandra and the teenage grandchildren have strangely
similar dreams? Has Sandra been granted a wish she didn't know she
made? Before their holiday is over, some of the family may learn
too much about the secret that keeps the island alive. FLAME TREE

"With The Way of the Worm, Campbell's cosmic trilogy comes to a
triumphant conclusion." - S.T. Joshi Book 3 in the Three Births of
Daoloth trilogy. The present day, or something very like it.
Dominic Sheldrake has retired from lecturing and lives on his own.
His son Toby is married with a small daughter. The occultist Noble
family are more active than ever. Their cult now openly operates as
the Church of the Eternal Three, and has spread worldwide. The
local branch occupies the top floors of Starview Tower, a Liverpool
waterfront skyscraper. To Dominic's dismay, Toby and his wife
Claudine are deeply involved in it, and he suspects they are
involving their small daughter Macy too. Dominic lets his son
persuade him to attend a meeting of the church, where he encounters
all three generations of the Nobles. Although Christian Noble is
almost a century old, he's more vigorous than ever - inhumanly so.
The family takes turns to preach an apocalyptic sermon that hints
at dark secrets masked by the Bible and at the future that lies in
wait. In a bid to investigate further Dominic undergoes the rite
the church offers its members, which confers the ability to travel
psychically through time. Before he's able to flee back to the
present he has a vision of the monstrous fate that's in store for
the world. Dominic discovers a secret he's sure the Nobles won't
want to be made public. Although he has retired from the police,
Jim helps him establish the truth, and Roberta publishes it on her
online blog. It's the subject of a court case, the results of which
seem to defeat the Nobles, only for them to return in a dreadfully
transformed shape. Now Dominic and his friends are at their mercy,
and is there anywhere in the world to hide? Even if they manage
somehow to deal with the Nobles, there may be no escaping or
preventing the alien apocalypse that all the events of the trilogy
have been bringing ever closer... FLAME TREE PRESS is the imprint

once thought up has nothing to do with him. He has no idea who is
writing it or where they get their information about a series of
violent deaths in Liverpool. If they're murders, how can the killer
go unseen even by security cameras? Perhaps David won't know until
they come too close to him-until he can't ignore the figure from
his past that is catching up with him... FLAME TREE PRESS is the

the moors of northern England, the town of Moonwell has remained
faithful to their Druid traditions and kept their old rituals
alive. Right-wing evangelist Godwin Mann isn't about to let that
continue, and his intolerant brand of fundamentalism has struck a
chord with the residents. But Mann goes too far when he descends
into the pit where the ancient being who's been worshipped by the
Druids for centuries is said to dwell. What emerges is a demon in
Mann's shape, and only the town's outcasts can see that something
is horribly wrong. As the evil spreads, Moonwell becomes cut off
from the rest of the world... FLAME TREE PRESS is the new fiction

Featuring new stories specially commissioned for the collection
this offering of H.P. Lovecraft's shared universe is a thrilling
immersion into the world of Old Ones and the Elder Gods, an ancient
race of terrifying beings. In Lovecraft's vision we live in a deep,
but fragile illusion, unable to comprehend the ancient beings, such
as the Cthulhu who lies dead but dreaming in the submerged city of
R'lyeh, waiting to rise then wreak havoc on our realm of existence.
Lovecraft used the mythos to create a background to his fiction,
and challenged many writer companions to add their own stories.
Clark Ashton Smith, Robert E. Howard, Robert Bloch, Frank Belknap
Long, Henry Kuttner were amongst the first but over the years many
others such as Ramsey Campbell, Lin Carter and August Derleth added
their voices to the many mythic cycles, developing themes and new
fictional pathways for the town of Arkham, and the creatures
Azathoth and Nyarlathotep. The Lovecraft Mythos is fertile ground
for any writer of supernatural, horror, fantasy and science
fiction, so for this edition we opened our submissions for brand
new stories, many published here for the first time, to continue
expanding the shared universe. New, contemporary and notable
writers featured are: Hal Bodner, Evey Brett, Ramsey Campbell,
Helen E. Davis, JG Faherty, Cody Goodfellow, Rachael K. Jones,
Scott R. Jones, Caitlín R. Kiernan, Nancy Kilpatrick, N.R.
Lambert, Victor LaValle, Thana Niveau, John Possidente, John
Llewellyn Probert, Mark Samuels, William Browning Spencer, R.S.
Stefoff, Jonathan Thomas, Donald Tyson and Douglas Wynne.
The second four issues of Weird Tales as published by DNA
Publications present new work by Brian Stableford, Darrell
Schweitzer, Ian Watson, William F. Nolan, Ramsey Campbell, Tanith
