The Horror In The Water Tower & Five More Tales Of The Cthulhu...

In THE HORROR IN THE WATER TOWER & Five More Tales Of The Cthulhu Mythos, McLaughlin and Sheehan present a half-dozen tales of eldritch horror, crawling with grotesque nightmare creatures.

The collection also features two follow-ups to H.P. Lovecraft’s classic tale, “The Dreams In The Witch House,” which explore the fate and supernatural legacy of Keziah Mason. You will also learn the secrets of the insect-god Ghattambah, a ravenous abomination that dwells beyond time and space. Mark McLaughlin is the author of BEST LITTLE WITCH-HOUSE IN ARKHAM, and Michael Sheehan, Jr. previously co-authored CASINO CARCOSA and THE ABOMINATIONS OF NEPHREN-KA with McLaughlin.
