One of the most prolific modern Lovecraftian authors, Peter Rawlik has established a catalog of horrific tales spanning numerous universes, often paying homage to the titans of horror fiction. With over fifty short stories to his name and several novels, Rawlik has amassed an astounding bibliography that is rivaled by few. In his debut collection, readers will find the very best of Rawlik's massive body of work. From Lovecraftian horror to gothic tales; visions of Herbert West: the Reanimator to Frankenstein, Little Red Riding Hood, and other entirely original horrors, Rawlik's debut collection is not just one of nightmares, but serves as a reminder to all who dare to explore its pages exactly where the roots of the genre began, and how with the right voice, these horrors can be reimagined and relived again and again. With an introduction by Brian M. Sammons.

"Rawlik is one of today's great conjurer's of mythos, magic, mayhem, and monsters. Disregard the trail of green foul smoke that emanates when you open the covers of STRANGE COMPANY, because buried (unburied?) inside are creatures that would just as soon cheat at cards as detonate the universe into dust. Monsters and mythologies pulled from the silver screen blend with great literary beasts, a battle that shakes the foundations of reality. Readers beware - these tales will suck you in with razor-tipped claws and fling you carelessly into the void." - Philip Fracassi, author of BEHOLD THE VOID

"Is Lovecraftian pulp-punk a thing? Because that's what Rawlik's doing here, at its action-packed, cinematic best " - Christine Morgan, THE HORROR FICTION REVIEW
