Description

These are Michael Shea’s classic works, included among the golden treasures of the horror genre, where stories about aliens and other worlds intertwine with horror, and Lovecraftian creatures collide with modernity. The legendary collection “Ployphymus” is fully included in the book, along with additional stories written around the same time. Here, an elderly pathologist arrives in a small town to conduct an autopsy—but finds something monstrous and unthinkable. A research expedition on a far-off barren planet encounters a predatory form of life. An ordinary homeless person, against their will, finds themselves drawn into a battle with a deadly monster that hunts passengers of a city bus. The killer terrorizing an entire town faces an unexpected opponent: a powerful interplanetary stranger who has come to Earth to study humans. All of this, and more, awaits you on the pages of this book, where horror takes many forms—some even more paradoxical than the others.
