Born of Blood: A Novella

Necronomicon: The Best Weird Tales of H. P. Lovecraft: Commemorative Edition (1977)WIKIPEDIA says: 'H.P. Lovecraft's reputation has grown tremendously over the decades, and he is now commonly regarded as one of the most important horror writers of the 20th century, exerting an influence that is widespread, though often indirect.' His tales of the tentacled Elder God Cthulhu and his pantheon of alien deities were initially written for the pulp magazines of the 1920s and '30s. These astonishing tales blend elements of horror, science fiction and cosmic terror that are as powerful today as they were when they were first published. THE NECRONOMICON collects together the very best of Lovecraft's tales of terror, including the complete Cthulhu Mythos cycle, just the way they were originally published. It will introduce a whole new generation of readers to Lovecraft's fiction, as well as being a must-buy for those fans who want all his work in a single, definitive volume.

The Country Under Heaven (2025)Louis L’Amour meets H.P. Lovecraft in this thrilling western epic about a former Civil War soldier wracked by enigmatic visions… More than a decade after the Civil War, former Union soldier Ovid Vesper still suffers from the paralyzing visions he’s been having since he survived one of the war’s most gruesome battles, the Battle of Antietam. As he travels across the Western frontier following those visions, he finds himself in stranger and increasingly more dangerous encounters with other worlds hidden in the spaces of his own, not to mention the dangers of the Wild West. Nonetheless, Ovid brings his steady calm and compassion as he helps the people of a broken country, rapidly changing but, like himself, still reeling and wounded from the war. He assists with matters of all sorts, from odd jobs around the house, to guiding children back to their own universe, to hunting down unnatural creatures that stalk the night – all the while seeking his own personal resolution and peace from his visions. Ovid’s epic journey across the American West with a surprising cast of characters blends elements of the classic Western with historical fantasy in a way like no other.

My Name Isn't Paul (2024)He's a traveling salesman named Paul Cattaneo, except he isn't. He's a Mirror Person - a hyper-empathetic eldritch abomination. He found the human Paul Cattaneo's mangled corpse seven years ago and decided to mimic it. It's just what Mirror People do. Mimic. Absorb. Control. But breeding season for Mirror People comes around every seven years, inducing a sociopathic state... and Paul's time is up. Unable to avoid the reality of what he truly is, Paul has a mental breakdown, goes on a cross-country road trip...and runs afoul of something far, far more inhuman and dangerous than himself. A cosmic horror tale like nothing you've ever read before.

Usher of the Fallen (2025)Years after escaping the grip of a sinister cult, Rachel Miller thought she had left the past behind. But when a strange man with a faded photograph shows up asking questions, old nightmares return—visions of blood-soaked ceremonies, cryptic symbols, and an ancient presence buried deep underground. A familiar voice whispers in the back of her mind, urging her to return to her brothers and sisters to finish the ritual they began so many years ago. Each day, Rachel’s visions grow stronger, putting her new life in jeopardy and the same question gnaws at is she finally losing her mind, or are these compulsions the work of something far more sinister? Usher of the Fallen is an occult psychological horror that erodes the boundary between nightmare and reality, where one woman’s attempt to escape her demons leads to disastrous consequences.

Cthulhu kutse (2024)«Cthulhu kutse» sisaldab 20. sajandi ameerika tähtsaima ja olulisel määral kogu maailma kultuuriteadvust mõjutanud õuduskirjaniku H. P. Lovecrafti (1890–1937) lühiproosa paremikku, mille on välja valinud, põhjalikult kommenteerinud ja järelsõnaga varustanud ulmekirjanduse asjatundja Raul Sulbi. Kogumikust leiab juba varem eesti keeles ilmunud tekste kui ka esmakordselt meie lugejateni jõudvaid palasid. Üleloomuliku kirjanduse austaja jaoks on nende kaante vahel käepäraselt koos kõik olulisemad kirjaniku novellid, jutustused ja lühiromaanid.

Ulmad nõiamajas (2022)«Ulmad nõiamajas» on omamoodi paralleelköiteks viie aasta eest ilmunud ameerika õudusklassiku H. P. Lovecrafti lühiproosa paremikku koondavale kogule «Cthulhu kutse», mis pälvis lisaks positiivsele kriitikale 2018. aastal Eesti ulmeauhinna Stalker aasta parima antoloogia/jutukogu kategoorias. Käesolevasse raamatusse on koondatud kirjaniku kaalukamad lühiromaanid ja jutustused, mis avavad tema Cthulhu-mütoloogia kosmilist tausta ja tutvustavad kaugeid planeete ning võõraid dimensioone, kust selle kummalise panteoni jumalad ja asukad omal ajal Maale saabusid. Lisaks leiab siit ka kirjaniku tähelepanuväärsemaid lühipalu, milles ta esmakordselt tutvustas lugejaile vaid talle ainuomast nn. Lovecrafti maakonda – Arkhami, Miskatonicu jt paikade Uus-Inglismaad. Kogumiku kümnest palast pooled ilmuvad eesti keeles esmakordselt – nende seas ka kaks võrratut näidet Lovecrafti luuleloomingust. Raamatust leiab ka kunstnik Tiit Pähnapuu lummavaid illustratsioone kirjaniku tekstidele.

Meddling Kids (2017)"The summer of 1977. The Blyton Summer Detective Club (of Blyton Hills, a small mining town in Oregon's Zoinx River Valley) solved their final mystery and unmasked the elusive Sleepy Lake monster--another low-life fortune hunter trying to get his dirty hands on the legendary riches hidden in Deboën Mansion. And he would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for those meddling kids. 1990. The former detectives have grown up and apart, each haunted by disturbing memories of their final night in the old haunted house. There are too many strange, half-remembered encounters and events that cannot be dismissed or explained away by a guy in a mask ... The time has come to get the team back together, face their fears, and find out what actually happened all those years ago at Sleepy Lake. It's their only chance to end the nightmares and, perhaps, save the world."--Jacket.

The Fisherman (2016)In upstate New York, in the woods around Woodstock, Dutchman's Creek flows out of the Ashokan Reservoir. Steep-banked, fast-moving, it offers the promise of fine fishing, and of something more, a possibility too fantastic to be true. When Abe and Dan, two widowers who have found solace in each other's company and a shared passion for fishing, hear rumors of the Creek, and what might be found there, the remedy to both their losses, they dismiss it as just another fish story. Soon, though, the men find themselves drawn into a tale as deep and old as the Reservoir. It's a tale of dark pacts, of long-buried secrets, and of a mysterious figure known as Der Fisher: the Fisherman. It will bring Abe and Dan face to face with all that they have lost, and with the price they must pay to regain it.
