Smell the faint aroma of rich tobacco smoke from an old man’s pipe on a shady boulevard.

Howard, Frank Belknap Long, and Robert Bloch), to later followers (Henry Kuttner, Lin Carter, Brian McNaughton), and contemporary afficianados (Brian Stableford, Mark McLaughlin, Adrian Cole) — and many more.

Known as the Elders, they long ago worshipped Lovecraftian horrors…

Together they will confront unspeakable evils in the night.  “Bad Vibes” is a 7,900-word short story introducing a horror setting that will be explored in future novels by C.J. Carella.

The Plasm – The Vordlak, once the pride of the space program, has been missing for decades, thought lost in the void. But when a salvage team come across it floating in the darkness, and the lost ship’s unique drive kicks in, then the problems are only just beginning. Space and time are warped as some of the relics of the original mission develop a strange new life of their own in their storage chamber deep below Mars.  Soon it is a race against time, as a burgeoning plasma starts to feed and grow on Mars, and matters aboard the Vordlak come to a head. Disaster can only be averted by studying the secret history of the ghost ship and the ancient rituals that have provided it with its power. But in repeating that history, will the small band of survivors prevail – or will they only make matters worse as the plasma continues to rampage?

Grander Than the Sea – Marla Mason, chief sorcerer of the coastal city of Felport, is called to the Blackwing Institute, a hospital for criminally insane magic-users. One of the patients tells her the world is going to end soon, when a great eldritch god rises from the ocean. Sure, there’s a good chance the god is entirely imaginary… but that doesn’t mean its cultists won’t kill a lot of people trying to usher in its arrival.

P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard.

The Recluse; A Lovecraftian Horror Story – “The Recluse” is a Cthulhu Mythos short story in the tradition of H. P. Lovecraft. My goal in writing it — aside from creating an entertaining work of fiction — was to have a character that is mysteriously isolated from other humans (much like the narrator of Lovecraft’s “The Outsider”) discover in his family background an extraterrestrial horror (such as that revealed in Lovecraft’s “Fungi From Yuggoth”.) In blending themes borrowed from “The Outsider” and “Fungi From Yuggoth”, I hoped to create an original weird tale of generational horror.

Dreams of Destruction – Backed by the savage power of Dreamtime monstrosities and supported by shadowy masters, an Australian cult known as ‘The Reign of Terror’ attempts to detonate a supernatural weapon of mass destruction at a meeting of world leaders in Perth, Western Australia. If successful, their bold plan will devastate the earth. Can mercenary hero Captain Max Calder infiltrate the cult, fend off the yakuza and Lovecraftian horrors, and ultimately bring down the plot from the inside – with one hell of a bang?

The Dulwich Horror – Ursula Wadden runs a successful pub in Dulwich, south-east London. On the surface, she has a lot to be happy with: she’s young, good-looking, has close friends and makes a reasonable living. But mystery and darkness shroud her past; she has never known her mother and her strange, taciturn, one-eyed father disappeared when she was a girl. There’s also her own peculiar secret which has prevented her from ever having a lover – something she intends to change, and in the process uncover the enigma of her ancestry while opening up terrifying vistas of possibility as she becomes a new link in an ancient chain of heredity…

The Camber Horror – A Lovecraftian Horror Short Story.  For twenty years Steve and Kathy had lived in the same sagging old wood house along a seldom used highway that twisted endlessly through the coastal range of Western Oregon. Pine-covered mountains rose up either side of the isolated valley they shared with a few other families. The hills were always dark with shadows and seemed to hold secrets from outsiders. But now something weird was growing in the woods, and people were disappearing.

ICHTHYS – “In the Roman catacombs, you are what you eat.”  A chilling tale of archaeological horror, set in the twisting tunnels beneath the city of Rome.
