Mark McLaughlin, Bram Stoker Award-winner for Excellence in Poetry, has concentrated on Lovecraftian fiction in recent years. His latest release, THE ARRIVAL OF OUR NEW MASTER, is an epic poem which tells of the return of Nyarlathotep to the modern world.

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 young, handsome Caliban. He is in fact an avatar of Nyarlathotep, a malevolent deity also known as the Crawling Chaos. He presents the world with a series of amazing technological advances as he rises in power.

But, each advance comes with monstrous surprises, and it becomes apparent that Caliban has a nightmare agenda in store for the Earth. A homeless woman named Penny Blanchard sees through his tricks ... but who will believe her, and will she be able to stop Caliban in time?

Mark McLaughlin is the coauthor, with Rain Graves and David Niall Wilson, of THE GOSSAMER EYE, which won the 2002 Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in Poetry. McLaughlin has co-authored the Lovecraftian fiction collections, THE ABOMINATIONS OF NEPHREN-KA, THE HORROR IN THE WATER TOWER, THE BLASPHEMY IN THE CANOPIC JAR, SHOGGOTH APOCALYPSE, THE RELIC IN THE EGYPTIAN GALLERY, THE CREATURE IN THE WAXWORKS, and THE TESTAMENT OF CTHULHU with Michael Sheehan, Jr.

McLaughlin's latest trade paperback releases are the story collections, HIDEOUS FACES, BEAUTIFUL SKULLS; BEST LITTLE WITCH-HOUSE IN ARKHAM; and the two-author horror collection with Michael McCarty, DRACULA TRANSFORMED & OTHER BLOODTHIRSTY TALES.

HORRORS & ABOMINATIONS has been selling briskly since the day it was released in 2021. In Amazon's sales rankings, HORRORS & ABOMINATIONS is currently No. 167 in Horror Anthologies (Books) and No. 202 in Fantasy Anthologies & Short Stories (Kindle Store).

The book includes many of the usual Lovecraftian entities, but we felt that more needed to be added to the mix.

In the book, you’ll find the traditional horrors, Cthulhu, Yog-Sothoth, Nyarlathotep, the King in Yellow, and a Mi-Go being from Yuggoth, among others. But you’ll also meet the monstrosities we created. Here are many of them:

The creature Azalareon can be found in “The Power of Azalareon.”

Toadface lurks in the story, “Toadface.”

The Sea-Spider dwells in the story, “The Sea-Spider.”

The oceanic being Yagdolak can be found in “The Lurker from the Kelp Forest.”

Setek the colossus resides in “The Colossus in the Catacombs.”

The monstrosity G’hodloth dwells within “The Thing from Beyond the Living Door.”

Nyarlathotep was an exotic, malevolent deity who appeared in the fiction of H. P. Lovecraft. He was known as the Crawling Chaos and could change his shape at will. He often took the form of an Egyptian pharaoh when dealing with people on Earth and in the Dreamlands. Mark McLaughlin and Michael Sheehan, Jr. have written many collections of Cthulhu Mythos fiction, and THE WRATH OF NYARLATHOTEP compiles the best of their stories inspired by the Crawling Chaos.

This collection presents twelve stories and an epic poem. Many of these adventures feature elements of Egyptian lore and add to the interdimensional history of Nyarlathotep. Works in this collection include “The Abominations Of Nephren-Ka,” “The Blasphemy In The Canopic Jar,” “The Final Door,” “The Relic In The Egyptian Gallery,” “Deathless Bride Of The Crawling Chaos,” “Pyramid Of The Shoggoths,” “Midnight Pet Show,” “Stainless Steel Sarcophagus,” and more.

This collection includes the epic poem, THE ARRIVAL OF OUR NEW MASTER, which presents a future Lovecraftian Armageddon. In the poem, people believe that wealthy young genius Caliban Storm offers the guidance that the world needs. But in truth, there is something evil about the mysterious millionaire. Caliban offers the world amazing technological advances as he rises in power. But each advance comes with monstrous surprises, and it becomes apparent that Caliban has a wicked agenda in store for the Earth. A homeless woman named Penny sees through his tricks – but will she be able to stop Caliban?

Explore a dimension of ancient entities and their modern-day disciples as you read THE WRATH OF NYARLATHOTEP.
