Book Description
The stories in Terrors range from a serious and touching portrait of a dying child kept alive by his love of a superhero to swashbuckling retro pulp adventures, the exploration of a lost civilization buried beneath the sands of the Sahara Desert, and the descent into madness of a famous writer of horror stories when he finds himself trapped in a railroad car with a terrifying party of college coeds.
In "The Adventure of the Voorish Sign" no less a personage than the great Sherlock Holmes finds himself drawn into a Lovecraftian House of Horrors. "Lights! Camera!! Shub-Niggurath!!!" is a hilarious jaunt into the world of the future, where an eccentric producer attempts to film a Mythos tale in outer space. And in "Streamliner," the thrills and chills of classic radio drama are re-created for the delectation of the modern reader.
Sixteen of Richard A. Lupoff's finest stories are collected here. Terrors is bound to become one of the great reading feasts of the year.
