The award-winning British editor Stephen Jones has put together a "shared world" anthology based on the classic horror novella "THE SHADOW OVER INNSMOUTH" by supernatural fiction writer H.P. Lovecraft. The original story (included in this collection) depicts a fear-haunted New England town in the late Twenties whose inhabitants have made a terrible compact with a race of sea-beings know as the Deep Ones & their god Dagon. The authors include Brian Lumley, Ramsey Campbell, Neil Gaiman, Kim Newman, Basil Copper, Brian Stableford, Guy N. Smith & Others. Illustrations by Dave Carson, Martin McKenna & Jim Pitts. "Using H.P. Lovecraft's original novella as inspiration, the all British contributors to this volume--including established masters of the genre & newer names--depict the dreadful decline of the Massachusetts seaport since the late 1920s: through the war years, the rock 'n' roll era & the recent political upheavals in Eastern Europe, into the modern scientific age & beyond."--from Stephen Jones' introduction. Available in hardcover trade edition & a deluxe, slipcased, signed limited edition directly from the publisher or through Baker & Taylor distributors & DreamHaven Books.
