Lingua:Libri ItalianiThe Stars are Right. Humans… prepare for extinction.
Eldritch gods, cosmic horrors, and weird physics are the enemy, striking from nameless dimensions we can’t perceive, destroying us with strangeness beyond human comprehension. Major Harrison Peel understands these Great Old Ones better than anyone. He wishes he didn’t.
Forced into his latest assignment, Peel must confront an alien Outer God known only as the Impossible Object. Held in a secret facility deep in the Australian desert, no two people perceive it the same way, and it conforms to no known properties of the universe. Then the Impossible Object promises to reveal the secrets of everything, or cause all space and time to blink from existence… forever.
Are humans supposed to choose? And if so, can Peel guess the Impossible Object’s intensions? For the fate of everything could rest entirely in his hands…
For fans of weird science fiction, Delta Green and Charles Stross’s The Laundry, the Harrison Peel series is a collection of interconnected cosmic horror stories that explore the world, and the entire universe, of H. P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos, stretched across all space and time.
Rage Against the Night features the megastars of dark fantasy and horror—including Stephen King, Ramsey Campbell, Peter Straub, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, F. Paul Wilson, Jonathan Maberry, Scott Nicholson, Nancy Holder, Sarah Langan, and many, many more.
Hell is torture. And it never ends.
For an eternity, Adamson’s diced body parts toured the pain factories of Hell. Demons brutalized him a billion times, and then a billion times after that. It was only when he stopped screaming did they rebuild him.
But Adamson’s new flesh isn’t even human. He’s not sure what he is, but his purpose is clear, to explore a vast new labyrinth of the underworld, populated only with dark nightmarish paintings, and each tells a story not even Adamson wants to know… but that he must somehow… ‘fix’?
Some nightmares never end. Some dimensions offer no escape. The Nightmare Dimension promises both, in this collection of 14 surreal short stories of horror and madness.
Read on, if you dare, for if you do, you might never sleep easily again…
Reality is collapsing. Alien gods plan a reboot.
Major Harrison Peel is no stranger to the weirdness of an uncaring, non-Euclidean universe. Years in the intelligence services exposed him to terrifying Outer Gods and their star spawn, that if unleashed, will effortlessly provoke humanity’s extinction. Somehow, Peel always held their menace at bay. Now he encounters something worse…
Unexpectedly, a nightmarish continent rises from the depths of the Pacific Ocean. An ancient Great Old One emerges from the waves, confounding the very laws of nature around it.
All too soon this eldritch god reveals its name, long whispered through the many strange aeons. A monster the rest of the universe is unwilling to confront, but Peel must…
Cthulhu.

Humans are a mistake. The laws of physics prove it.
Army intelligence officer Major Harrison Peel has spent a lifetime fighting eldritch horrors, constantly clawing through the veil of reality ready to annihilate our world. But how do you win the war when these alien gods — and not terrestrial life — are the true nature of reality?
In Antarctica, a new threat emerges. Shape-shifting aliens called Shoggoths that can mimic people and integrate into human society, who are manipulating us from within. Then Peel discovers their true intensions…
If Peel can’t defeat these Shoggoths abominations, they won’t just destroy us, but enslave humanity into a billion years of servitude…
For fans of weird science fiction, Delta Green and Charles Stross’s The Laundry, the Harrison Peel series is a collection of interconnected cosmic horror stories that explore the world, and the entire universe, of H. P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos, stretched across all space and time.
Cthulhu slumbers… for now. Humanity lives… for now.
One hundred years in the making, the Cthulhu Mythos is as alive today as when H. P. Lovecraft first introduced his weird horrors to an unsuspecting 1920s world. Many authors since have expanded upon his strange eldritch universe, but none quite like award-winning horror author David Conyers.
Fear the Messengers of Nyarlathotep, who tear living faces from men. Repel the subterranean Ghouls of Africa, who bred humans in their millions as food. Dread the ocean trawlers of Carcosa, transporting unsuspecting passengers to the Court of the Yellow King. Shudder at the Mi-go simulations, poised to inflict torturous mind-games on humans kept in zoos.
Collected together are 14 tales of horror from Australia’s most renowned Cthulhu fiction author. Discover links to Conyers’ popular Harrison Peel series, and backstories to the many Call of Cthulhu role-playing game books he contributed to over the years, including Chaosium’s Secrets of Kenya, The House of R’lyeh, Horror on the Orient Express and The Stars Are Right!
Think you know every secret the Cthulhu Mythos can offer?
Fear to think that you many not.
The world is at war against things that slink and gibber in the darkness, and titans that stride from world to world, sewing madness and death. War has existed in one form or another since the dawn of human civilization, and before then, Elder terrors battled it out across this planet and this known universe in ways unimaginable.
It has always been a losing battle for our side since time began. Incidents like the Innsmouth raid, chronicled by H.P. Lovecraft, mere blips of victory against an insurmountable foe. Still we fight, against these incredible odds, in an unending nightmare, we fight, and why? For victory, for land, for a political ideal? No, mankind fights for survival.
Our authors, John Shirley, Mark Rainey, Wilum Pugmire, William Meikle, Tim Curran, Jeffrey Thomas and many others have gathered here to share war stories from the eternal struggle against the darkness. This book chronicles these desperate battles from across the ages, including Roman Britain, The American Civil War, World War Two, The Vietnam Conflict, and even into the far future.

Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos, stretched across all space and time.

The future is bright. If you adapt and survive it.
Welcome to a feverish universe. Where aliens profess humanity’s next stage of evolution is liquification. Where corporations demand real-life never interrupts their constant streams of advertising. Where terrorists’ nano-hack the material world manifesting warped realities of paradise and hell.
Travel to diamond encrusted planets where it rains oil. Enter an Antarctica cyberpunk metropolis fused with an ancient alien necropolis. Recoil at a virus that edits loved ones from your vision.
These futures demand more than your survival. They demand absolute embracement of their bizarreness. Preconceived 21st Century notions will not serve you here.
Nanofabrica, a collection of 13 unusual science fiction short stories. Futures you won’t see coming.
Cyberpunk tales are written in dark, gritty, film-noir styles. Their protagonists live and die at the bottom echelon of an electronic society gone awry. They may be seedier, poorer, and less inclined to make moral judgements than stoic Lovecraftian New Englanders, but in Cyberpunk-Cthulhu tales they encounter the same horrors as their more-genteel predecessors.
Confronting monstrous entities and fiends from beyond space and time, the Cyberpunk-Cthulhu hero may wield high-tech weapons and have other advances at his or her disposal. To beings where time has no meaning and whose technologically is so advanced that their actions seem supernatural or powered by magic, no human finds an advantage.
This is the Cyberpunk-Cthulhu world—mythos horrors lurk at the edge of society, mythos-altered technology infects human beings, dark gods lurk in cyberspace, and huge corporations rule society while bowing to entities inimical to humankind.
