Thirteen Plus-1 Lovecraftian Narratives - Nancy Kilpatrick

Thirteen Plus-1 Lovecraftian Narratives

Stories honoring the intriguingly dark and imaginative world of H.P. Lovecraft. Elder Gods and hideous creatures change the lives of human beings forever. These cautionary tales remind us to: Be careful! Pay attention! Remember: you never know what lurks just beneath the surface. Forward by S.T. Joshi

Phantasmagoria Magazine #23 by reviewer Tori Born:

"I found this collection incredibly engaging and had to take breaks between stories to fully digest each one. I enjoyed 'Flesh and Bones', and genuinely feel that this is a stand-out story. Perhaps less terrifying than the other tales, this one is disturbingly romantic in its own, macabre way. Kilpatrick is a master at creating atmosphere and setting a scene that you can't just see but can smell, and can feel, and this story is the perfect example of how she best employs these skills."

Lovecraftiana Magazine review:

"The anthology as a whole is well textured, with running themes at some points, while at others introducing stories that come as a complete surprise."

Hellnotes by reviewer Elaine Pascale:

"Thirteen Plus-1 contains clever stories with recurring themes...which delve into the origins of the human species. ...gothic horror, body horror, bizarro horror, feminist horror-enough of a buffet to delight any palate."

The Horror Zine by reviewer John Cozzoli

"Kilpatrick breathes Lovecraft's doom-soaked vapors into each of her people and the question each must answer is how they will survive."
