The Creature In The Waxworks
(2017)Tales Of Weird & Lovecraftian Horror
A collection of stories by Michael Sheehan Jr and Mark McLaughlin
THE CREATURE IN THE WAXWORKS offers nightmare tales of weird and Lovecraftian horror from the authors of HORRORS & ABOMINATIONS and THE HOUSE OF THE OCELOT. "The Surprising Sweetness Of Their Blood," a sequel to Lovecraft's "The Dunwich Horror," reveals an unspeakable horror hidden in the town of Dunwich, brought to hideous new life by the meddling of a well-meaning outsider.
In the collection's title story, a ghastly alien creature hides in plain sight at the Pickman Waxworks, and only one man knows its millennia-old secrets ... and its shocking new agenda. "The Gateway To Carcosa" is a tale of THE KING IN YELLOW, a forbidden book that brings madness and death to anyone who dares to read it.
"Aunt Paloma" takes you to a mansion of horrors where a dying woman must contend with her predatory relatives as she guides her bizarre man-child to his singular destiny. "Nobody Goes To Paw Paw Town Anymore" tells of a community that guards its horrors well -- because the town's monstrous secret is also its primary source of income. In "The Glorious Return Of Herbert West," a deceased doctor who specialized in reanimation is resurrected in the far future, so he can help a team of scientists to fight the legions of shoggoths that are destroying the Earth. But certainly the team is not prepared for the good doctor's latest prescription....
