---------------------

An awesome five-star review by Ben Eads of THE ARRIVAL OF OUR NEW MASTER:

He begins by saying: "McLaughlin's one of those authors that when you discover his work, you have to read more and more." Go to the review to read the rest! :-)

THE ARRIVAL OF OUR NEW MASTER: A Lovecraftian Armageddon by Mark McLaughlin. Kindle Unlimited:
US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H2QGQFG/
UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07H2QGQFG/
Mark McLaughlin, Bram Stoker Award-winner for Excellence in Poetry, has concentrated on Lovecraftian fiction in recent years. His latest release, THE ARRIVAL OF OUR NEW MASTER, is an epic poem which tells of the return of Nyarlathotep to the modern world.

People believe that Caliban Storm, son of wealthy Bernard Storm, offers the wisdom and guidance that the world has needed for so long. But in truth, there is something very wrong with young, handsome Caliban. He is in fact an avatar of Nyarlathotep, a malevolent deity also known as the Crawling Chaos. He presents the world with a series of amazing technological advances as he rises in power.

But, each advance comes with monstrous surprises, and it becomes apparent that Caliban has a nightmare agenda in store for the Earth. A homeless woman named Penny Blanchard sees through his tricks ... but who will believe her, and will she be able to stop Caliban in time?

Mark McLaughlin is the coauthor, with Rain Graves and David Niall Wilson, of THE GOSSAMER EYE, which won the 2002 Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in Poetry. McLaughlin has co-authored the Lovecraftian fiction collections, THE ABOMINATIONS OF NEPHREN-KA, THE HORROR IN THE WATER TOWER, THE BLASPHEMY IN THE CANOPIC JAR, SHOGGOTH APOCALYPSE, THE RELIC IN THE EGYPTIAN GALLERY, THE CREATURE IN THE WAXWORKS, and THE TESTAMENT OF CTHULHU with Michael Sheehan, Jr.

McLaughlin's latest trade paperback releases are the story collections, HIDEOUS FACES, BEAUTIFUL SKULLS; BEST LITTLE WITCH-HOUSE IN ARKHAM; and the two-author horror collection with Michael McCarty, DRACULA TRANSFORMED & OTHER BLOODTHIRSTY TALES.

McLaughlin and Sheehan present tales of weird Lovecraftian horror, populated by ravenous creatures and ancient horrors. In the title story, you'll learn of a grotesque Egyptian revenant, forced by an evil power to destroy all living things in its path. An excerpt from "The Lurker In The Kelp Forest" is presented above. "The Nightmare In Delapore Tower," a sequel to H.P. Lovecraft's classic tale "The Rats In The Walls," tells of a repulsive family secret, hidden in the shadows of the Maintenance floor in a glorious high-rise. "The Power Of Azalareon" takes you down a forbidden stone stairway into a slime-streaked cave, where dwells a nightmare being that can warp reality. Strange passions bloom like blood-red roses in "Another Terrible Old Man." "The Thing From Beyond The Living Door" reveals the identity of the freakish, vampiric entity that obeys the commands of the evil Mrs. Veng and her horrendous tenant, Dr. Brandywine.

The Creature In The Waxworks: Tales Of Weird & Lovecraftian Horror

The Creature In The Waxworks

THE CREATURE IN THE WAXWORKS: Tales Of Weird & Lovecraftian Horror by Mark McLaughlin & Michael Sheehan, Jr. FREE on Kindle Unlimited: www.amazon.com/dp/B07696HR14/

GoodReads page: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

THE CREATURE IN THE WAXWORKS offers nightmare tales of weird and Lovecraftian horror from the authors of THE ABOMINATIONS OF NEPHREN-KA and SHOGGOTH APOCALYPSE. “The Surprising Sweetness Of Their Blood,” a sequel to Lovecraft’s “The Dunwich Horror,” reveals an unspeakable horror hidden in the town of Dunwich, brought to hideous new life by the meddling of a well-meaning outsider. In the collection’s title story, a ghastly alien creature hides in plain sight at the Pickman Waxworks, and only one man knows its millennia-old secrets … and its shocking new agenda. “The Gateway To Carcosa” is a tale of The King In Yellow, a forbidden book that brings madness and death to anyone who dares to read it. “Aunt Paloma” takes you to a mansion of horrors where a dying woman must contend with her predatory relatives as she guides her bizarre man-child to his singular destiny. “Nobody Goes To Paw Paw Town Anymore” tells of a community that guards its horrors well – because the town’s monstrous secret is also its primary source of income. In “The Glorious Return Of Herbert West,” a deceased doctor who specialized in reanimation is resurrected in the far future, so he can help a team of scientists to fight the legions of shoggoths that are destroying the Earth. But certainly the team is not prepared for the good doctor’s latest prescription….
