Still So Strange

In "MONSTROUS BARGAINS AND BALLADS," Amanda Downum weaves together a collection of short fiction inspired by Lovecraftian themes, exploring the lives of ghosts, gods, and ghouls who navigate the complexities of their existence alongside mortals. This anthology features both previously published stories from notable literary magazines like Strange Horizons and Weird Tales, as well as original, unpublished tales, all focusing on the intricate connections and divergences between humans and otherworldly beings. Spanning a decade, this collection invites readers into a richly imaginative world of devil's bargains and haunting melodies.
