Summary

„The Shadow Over Innsmouth” follows a nameless narrator touring New England for information on his family, and studying the local architecture. The story describes a man who finds himself stranded in a half-deserted town with strange inhabitants. They look human – mostly, but there is something odd about their eyes and their behavior. He meets the town drunk, Zadok Allen, who tells him the terrifying history of the town, about Devil Reef and mutant humanoids, sea gods, gold, and human sacrifice. When the narrator finds himself stranded in town overnight, he comes face to face with the town’s horrifying secret... one not of this world... A story about the horror that could turn to wonder, the once perceived abyss is afterwards seen as the most fascinating destiny, and what was at first avoided at all costs is eventually embraced with open arms.

Available since: 03/11/2017.

Handsome, gifted young James Laurent has a story to tell you. His father will likely be the next governor, and his own future is bright. But James carries a dark secret--he's a sociopath who's done terrible things, and he doesn't know how to love. 
That is, until he meets Morgan, a strong, beautiful farm girl who captures his heart and turns his world on its ear. but Morgan harbors secrets of her own...and as James will discover, creatures far darker than he walk this Earth. 
"In Scream of the Butterfly, Christophe Maso wraps big questions about the nature and limits of love in a propulsive narrative that punches above its weight class. A strong debut, this novella both delivers on its own promise and marks Maso as a writer to watch. Closely." -- John Langan, award-winning author of Corpsemouth and Other Autobiographies 
"Like the Jim Morrison of horror fiction, Christophe Maso won't stop breaking the rules. Indeed, even after you've made it to 'the end' of his dark tale of madness and desire, you may still find it hard to 'break on through' the lingering shadows." -- Josh Schlossberg, award-winning author of Malinae and editor of The Jewish Book of Horror
