  Through the Looking Glass and Straight Into Hell, by Christa Carmen 
  Addiction is the perpetual epidemic, where swarms of human moths flutter to the flames of hell. Because that warm blanket of a heroin high, that joyful intoxication of a pint of vodka, that electric energy from a line of cocaine, over time leaves you with a cold loneliness and a bitter heart. Relationships destroyed, bodies deteriorate, loved ones lost, yet the craving continues for that which is killing us—living, as the title suggests, like an Orphan of Bliss. 
  Welcome to the third and final fix of addiction horror and the follow up to the Shirley Jackson Award Finalist, Lullabies For Suffering. A diverse table of contents brought together for an explosive grand finale-an unflinching look at the insidious nature of addiction, told with searing honesty but compassion for those who suffer.

  Defiance - A Post-Apocalyptic...

  My world is turning into a living nightmare. 
  My best friend has been murdered and turned into a zombie. I’ve fled what came way too close to a mad scientist’s lair for anyone’s good. I’ve stepped over the dead bodies of men, women, and children who I’ve risked my life for. Watched what little hope and security thousands of people have clung to for weeks go up in flames—and half of them even looking enthusiastic about it. And then the bastards killed another of my friends by turning her into an undead, super-strong monster—that I’ve had to stab to permanent death to prevent her from tearing apart helpless children. 
  My right hand is still sticky with her cooling, congealing blood. 
  Getting dragged off to God knows where kind of pales in comparison to that—but only so much. 
  And all that happened since earlier this morning. 
  I have no idea if I’ll still be alive come midnight—or if I even want to. 
  We thought the zombie apocalypse would be the worst that could happen to us. Looks like we were wrong. 
  When giving up isn’t an option, the only way out is through.

  The Call of Cthulhu

  H. P. Lovecraft

  "The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents."
  
  A derelict ship adrift in the Pacific. An artist haunted by fantastical, sinister dreams. A police inspector confronting the diabolical rites of a depraved cult.
  
  As Francis Wayland Thurston delves deeper into these seemingly random events, he uncovers disturbing evidence of an ancient, alien God-like entity named Cthulhu and pieces together the terrible truth: Cthulhu, capable of driving humans to madness, lurks deep beneath the sea, ready to be called into being by those who don't understand the power or the danger of what they have unleashed.
  The Call of Cthulhu is a foundational work of cosmic horror that explores themes of forbidden knowledge, the lurking dread of the unknown and the weakness of the human mind when confronted by powers and intelligences from beyond our world.
  
  Though virtually unknown and financially unsuccessful during his lifetime, H.P. Lovecraft (1890-1937) is now regarded as one of the most influential 20th-century writers of supernatural horror fiction. Widely credited with inventing the "cosmic horror" genre—fiction that explores humanity's insignificance in the face of vast, unknowable cosmic forces—he also created the "Cthulhu Mythos", a shared universe of ancient alien beings and forbidden knowledge that has influenced generations of horror and science fiction writers

  A POWERFUL FULL-CAST DRAMATIC MARATHON  
   
  “Beware; for I am fearless, and therefore powerful.”  
   
  Mary Shelley was an English novelist who wrote the Gothic novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus in 1818, which is considered an early example of science fiction. She also edited and promoted the works of her husband, the Romantic poet, and philosopher Percy Bysshe Shelley. Her father was the political philosopher William Godwin and her mother the philosopher and feminist activist Mary Wollstonecraft. 
   
  Shelley's mother died less than a month after giving birth to her. She was raised by her father, who provided her with a rich if informal education, encouraging her to adhere to his own anarchist political theories. When she was four, her father married a neighbor, Mary Jane Clairmont, with whom Shelley came to have a troubled relationship. 
   
  In 1814, Shelley began a romance with one of her father's political followers, Percy Bysshe Shelley, who was already married. Together with her stepsister, Claire Clairmont, she and Percy left for France and traveled through Europe. Upon their return to England, Shelley was pregnant with Percy's child. Over the next two years, she and Percy faced ostracism, constant debt, and the death of their prematurely born daughter. They married in late 1816, after the suicide of Percy Shelley's first wife, Harriet. 
   
  In 1816, the couple and her stepsister famously spent a summer with Lord Byron and John William Polidori near Geneva, Switzerland, where Shelley conceived the idea for her novel Frankenstein. The Shelleys left Britain in 1818 for Italy, where their second and third children died before Shelley gave birth to her last and only surviving child, Percy Florence Shelley.
