The Womb of Time

Perilous Press is proud to announce the next release in its New Millennium Mythos series, THE WOMB OF TIME by Brian Stableford. The volume will contain the title novella as well as "The Legacy Of Erich Zann."

Brian Stableford is a past master of British New Wave fantasy and science fiction, with over 50 novels and seven collections to his credit. A literary scholar with one hundred translated volumes, Stableford is also an adept craftsman at literary pastiche, but his true skill lies in subverting familiar subjects into new and dangerous shapes. Thus, in The Womb Of Time, what the pilgrims to the ruined town of Dunwich witness on the exposed sea floor is far more subtle than the average tentacular potboiler, but strikes at the heart of the dreaded Cthulhu archetype as no other work has yet dared.

"The Legacy Of Erich Zann" is a sequel of sorts to Lovecraft's short masterpiece, but Stableford injects Poe's seminal master detective Auguste Dupin into a diabolical mystery that pits the unflappable against the unthinkable.

Edited with an introduction by S.T. Joshi, with sublime artwork by Cyril Van Der Haegen, THE WOMB OF TIME is a groundbreaking vivisection of the meaning and mystery of the Cthulhu Mythos.
