This ebook edition is revised to include all interior illustrations by artist Clint R. Leduc (one accompanying each story) and the original front cover and back cover artwork by Santiago Caruso.
Enoch Coffin is a proud inhabitant of Massachusetts, an artist following in the footsteps of local legend Richard Upton Pickman. Coffin is an artist with a singular quest: to capture in paint, or ink, or clay -- however he might -- sights that no mortal has ever portrayed in art before...and lived to exhibit. His quest will take him throughout actual New England locations, and that other New England of H. P. Lovecraft, where his models will be doomed souls, ravening ghouls, and entities from beyond the veil.
Individually acclaimed for their weird fiction, in this collection of short stories authors W. H. Pugmire and Jeffrey Thomas collaborate to paint the portrait of a character every bit as fascinating and unique as the subjects of his artistic encounters.
Praise for W.H. Pugmire
"The prose-poet of the horror/fantasy field; he may be the best prose-poet we have...perhaps the leading Lovecraftian author writing today."- S. T. Joshi
"An important figure in the fields of modern horror and the weird."- Laird Barron
"Stylistically he owes as much to Oscar Wilde and Henry James as to HPL and Poe, creating a truly unholy fusion that defies academic boundaries between 'mainstream' and 'genre' fiction."- Editor and scholar Scott Connors
Praise for Jeffrey Thomas
"In time he will, in this reviewer's opinion, be listed alongside King, Barker, Koontz, and McCammon."- Brian Keene
"Jeffrey Thomas' imagination is as twisted as it is relentless."- F. Paul Wilson
"With brutal elegance and chilling subtlety, Thomas pulls his readers into his dark visions immediately from every opening line."- Paul Di Filippo
Genre: Horror
