Final notes: This Anthology has been long in production, but now that it’s up and out the door I think we’re really proud of it as a sort of representation of the diverse horror our mythos can provide. It’s certainly something worth putting on your bookshelf. alliterator worked hard on this book and it shows. And hey, he’s planning more volumes for the future, so hopefully our mythos will start to look pretty prolific as years go by.
