On today’s video chat (6pm Eastern time), I’ll be speaking with Nicole Cushing, author of the new Lovecraftian novella Children of No One.

Praise for Children of No One:

Thomas Ligotti: “The confidence and expertise so blatantly evident in Nicole Cushing’s writing is astonishing. To make the reader wonder just how a particular work could have been conceived is the height of artistry. And Children of No One instills this wonder indeed. At the same time, it presents art as a vehicle for the grossest inhumanity, something that both hypnotizes and appalls. Ultimately, however, the source of the story’s dread is life itself, as the author explicitly announces late in the narrative, too late for those who by force or fancy must play its awful game.”

Gary A. Braunbeck: “It has been years since I’ve read a novella as mesmerizing, disturbing, and unique as this.  The supernatural, psychological, and emotional elements are so tightly intertwined that you never really know where reality begins and the dark elements begin.”

Watch the video chat LIVE today at 6:00pm Eastern time (5pm Central, 3pm Pacific)!  To watch, simply click the play button in the Youtube video that will be at the end of this post at that time.

Children of No One synopsis: Sadism, nihilism, poverty, wealth, screams, whimpers, sanity and madness collide in Nowhere, Indiana.  For Thomas Krieg, Nowhere is a miles-long, pitch-black underground maze in which he’s imprisoned dozens of boys for the past ten years—all in the name of art.  For two brothers, Nowhere is the only place they clearly remember living. A world unto itself, in which they must stay alert to stay alive. A world from which the only escape is death.  But for an English occultist known only as Mr. No One, Nowhere is much more…and much less: the perfect place in which to perform a ritual to unleash the grandest of eldritch deities, the God of Nothingness, the Great Dark Mouth.
