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.

Mark McLaughlin is the author of BEST LITTLE WITCH-HOUSE IN ARKHAM, and Michael Sheehan, Jr. has co-authored THE ABOMINATIONS OF NEPHREN-KA, THE HORROR IN THE WATER TOWER, THE BLASPHEMY IN THE CANOPIC JAR, SHOGGOTH APOCALYPSE, THE CREATURE IN THE WAXWORKS, and THE TESTAMENT OF CTHULHU with McLaughlin.

Two new paperbacks are now available from the writing team of Mark McLaughlin and Michael Sheehan, Jr. The stories in these books were inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft and Robert W. Chambers.

THE HOUSE OF THE OCELOT presents tales of Lovecraftian fantasy and horror, as well as an epic poem regarding the return of Nyarlathotep to the modern world. Most of these adventures have only been available so far on Kindle. This paperback collection is a companion volume to HORRORS & ABOMINATIONS, and has been released for readers who prefer holding books, as opposed to devices.

Stories in this collection include “The House Of The Ocelot,” “Queen Of The Vultures,” “The Foul One Lives To Destroy: A Tale Of The Dreamlands,” “Shoggoth Apocalypse,” “The Glorious Return Of Herbert West,” “The Last Witch-House,” “Stainless Steel Sarcophagus,” and many more.

The collection also includes the epic poem, “The Arrival Of Our New Master: A Lovecraftian Armageddon.” 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 handsome young Caliban. He is in fact an avatar of Nyarlathotep, a malevolent deity also known as the Crawling Chaos….

HORRORS & ABOMINATIONS presents 24 stories of Lovecraftian fantasy and horror. Learn the unholy secrets of such malevolent beings as Cthulhu, Yog-Sothoth, Nyarlathotep, Azalareon, Mother Hydra, the King in Yellow, and Yagdolak. Discover the blasphemous activities of the Tillinghast and Delapore families … wicked Mrs. Veng and her horrendous tenant, Dr. Brandywine … and the unspeakable, mutated son of King Tutankhamun.

Stories in this collection include “Deathless Bride Of The Crawling Chaos,” “The Abominations Of Nephren-Ka,” “Coins From Y’ha-nthlei,” “The Blasphemy In The Canopic Jar,” “The Curse Of The Tillinghasts,” “The Colossus In The Catacombs,” “The Nightmare In Delapore Tower,” “The Thing From Beyond The Living Door,” “The Gateway To Carcosa,” “The Testament Of Cthulhu” and many more.

The stories and poetry in these two collections were selected from nine Kindle collections previously released by McLaughlin and Sheehan: THE ARRIVAL OF OUR NEW MASTER, STAINLESS STEEL SARCOPHAGUS, THE TESTAMENT OF CTHULHU, THE CREATURE IN THE WAXWORKS, THE RELIC IN THE EGYPTIAN GALLERY, SHOGGOTH APOCALYPSE, THE BLASPHEMY IN THE CANOPIC JAR, THE HORROR IN THE WATER TOWER, and THE ABOMINATIONS OF NEPHREN-KA.

WEIRD WORSHIP presents 14 tales and a poem about two strange deities who are part of the Cthulhu Mythos -- the insect-god Ghattambah, and the King in Yellow.

Ghattambah was created by writer Mark McLaughlin, who also writes stories about the creature with his collaborator Michael Sheehan, Jr. The King in Yellow first appeared in the Robert W. Chambers book of the same name in 1895. The royal terror has been a source of inspiration for many writers who embrace the Cthulhu Mythos.

“Part 1: The Way Of The Swarm” features the following tales about the insect-god Ghattambah: “Der Fleischbrunnen,” “The Spawn Of Ghattambah,” “The Hungry One Must Feed,” “In The Chapel Of Ghattambah,” “Cleaning Frenzy,” “Pyramid Of The Shoggoths,” “The Horror In The Water Tower,” and “Shoggoth Apocalypse.”

Absolutely Monstrous
TEN TALES OF COSMIC HORROR
by Mark McLaughlin and Michael Sheehan, Jr.

Kindle / Kindle Unlimited. Paperback forthcoming.
US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FDBFDZ3B
UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FDBFDZ3B

When people think of a Cthulhu Mythos story, they usually think of a macabre tale set in a sinister rural town, or in a dilapidated seaside village. As far as characters are concerned, they expect deranged townspeople and wicked mystics, consulting moldy copies of ancient tomes. But Mark McLaughlin and Michael Sheehan, Jr. are steering the Mythos in a new direction. In Absolutely Monstrous, you will find stories featuring pop stars, fashion models, performance artists, club kids, and drag queens. The stories are set in tropical islands, casinos, movie theaters, department stores, and other modern settings. There are even two stories about a deity whose cosmic domain encompasses the internet.

Stories in the collection include “Stainless Steel Sarcophagus,” “Another Terrible Old Man,” “Sea-Green Gown With Gold Buttons,” “It Isn't What You Gnaw, It's Who You Gnaw,” “The Embrace Of Kugappa,” and more.
