This indie horror anthology pays homage to H. P. Lovecraft with original literature and artwork by a diverse creative collective of artists and writers. Face ancient cults, eldritch evils, existential dread, and the inevitable embrace of madness.
From isolated coastal stations harboring impossible beings to eerie late-night broadcasts, these stories explore the fragile boundary between what we think is real and what really is. You will encounter haunted lighthouses, shifting identities, unnatural transformations, and unseen forces pressing in from just beyond perception. Some horrors rise from the sea, others from within the self, and others still from places that should not exist at all.
Blending psychological unease with classic cosmic horror, this collection moves from quiet, creeping dread to full-scale apocalyptic collapse. Expect strange small-town mysteries, ritualistic encounters, strange transmissions, fractured minds, and encounters with entities that defy human understanding. Interwoven throughout are haunting works of poetry and original artwork that deepen the sense of disorientation, beauty, and terror.
Featuring art, poetry, and short stories: James Austin McCormick, Reign Reeves Pearson, Brittiany Lema, CJ Hooper, Miguel Gaspar, Owen Pierce, Jack Dowden, Khen P. Julia, Dave Radel, Aristo Couvaras, Daniel Deyton, B.K. Barton, R.J. Butler, John A. DeLaughter, Allister Nelson, Nenad Mitrović, Michael Mahinay, Mario Senzale, Rory Abel, Bobbi Chapman, Shawn Phelps, Nathan Poole Shannon, Pamela K. Kinney, and Damir Salkovic.

"The Static Between Channels" - Reign Reeves Pearson A late-night signal reveals something lurking between frequencies, where perception itself begins to unravel. A chilling, modern cosmic horror that feels disturbingly plausible.
"The Shadows in the Lighthouse" - Aristo Couvaras In a town where reality tilts just slightly off, shadows begin to move with a will of their own. A slow-burning descent into philosophical dread and creeping unreality.
"The Altar in the West" - C.J. Hooper Ancient forces stir beneath familiar landscapes, blurring the line between ritual and revelation. A richly atmospheric tale steeped in cosmic unease.
"Who is Elena Voss?" - Jack Dowden A search for answers spirals into obsession as identity itself begins to fracture. A psychological horror that lingers long after the final page.
"The Motel" - Daniel Deyton A roadside stop becomes a place where nothing is quite what it seems, and leaving may not be an option. What begins as a stay in a standard roadside motel descends into a nightmare of structural growls, interdimensional lagoons, and a family's generational debt to a monster. Tense, eerie, and quietly devastating.
"We All Know Why the Dog Didn't Bark That Night" - Miguel Gaspar A familiar mystery story takes on a darker, more unsettling meaning when silence speaks louder than sound. A sharp, haunting twist on expectation.
"No Bad Parts" - Mario Senzale An exploration of the self turns inward... and keeps going. Disturbing, intimate, and psychologically unnerving in all the right ways.
"Down in the Earth" - Rory Abel Beneath the surface lies something ancient, waiting to be uncovered. A claustrophobic descent into primal, subterranean horror.
"Tea Party" - Pamela K. Kinney What begins as an ordinary gathering slowly reveals something deeply wrong beneath the surface. A masterclass in quiet dread and creeping realization.
"Communion" - Damir Salkovic An encounter with the unknown transforms into something far more profound and irreversible. A powerful closing note that blends awe, horror, and existential weight to leave a lasting aftertaste.
Twenty-four voices. Nineteen stories. Seven poems. One long, slow descent into the unknown.
