Noirlathotep 2

NOIRLATHOTEP 2: MORE TALES OF LOVECRAFTIAN CRIME features six all-new stories by the writers of Psycho Drive-In that push the boundaries of what you can do with the concept of Lovecraftian Mythos-inspired crime fiction.Dan Lee kicks us off with "Little Girls and Other Nightmares" as a hard-boiled detective's job to find a little girl is complicated by her very possessive mother.Then we move to "Dust Devil" by R. Mike Burr, where small-town hostilities spiral into mind-shattering devastation for everyone involved.Then Alex Wolfe's "Devil in the Machine" takes us back to the days shortly before her NOIRLATHOTEP 1 story, to discover the backstory of a very intriguing, and mind-addled, hacker.Rick Shingler then takes us into the "Belly of the Beast" as an intrepid reporter mistakenly believes that getting the scoop of a crime boss's notorious past is the most important thing that's going to happen to him on that day.Paul Brian McCoy is up next with "The Stuff Nightmares are Made Of" - a 1920s riff on The Maltese Falcon, Indiana Jones adventures, and the Cthulhu Mythos, with a healthy dose of sex and drugs thrown into the mix.We round out the collection with John E. Meredith's novella "Watching, Waiting" which tells both the past and future history of the world through the eyes of a professor who discovered a little too much truth in the course of his studies.
