Sinopsis

In "And We Sailed the Mighty Dark," Frank Belknap Long delves into the realms of cosmic horror and existential dread through a richly woven narrative that captures the vastness of both the universe and the human psyche. The novel showcases Long's hallmark style, characterized by lush, atmospheric prose and intricate character development, effectively transporting readers into a world where the boundaries of reality blur against the backdrop of unfathomable darkness. Set in the mid-20th century, the book reflects the anxieties and uncertainties of the post-war era, exploring themes of isolation, the fragility of sanity, and mankind's vulnerability in the face of the infinite unknown. Frank Belknap Long was a distinguished figure in the early science fiction and fantasy movements, influenced by the works of H.P. Lovecraft with whom he shared both friendship and literary kinship. Long's early interest in poetry and the macabre, along with his experiences in World War I, catalyzed his explorations of fear and the supernatural in his writing. His deep-seated fascination with the cosmos and its mysteries informs this novel, where he expertly confronts the reader with the questions of existence and the human condition. This captivating work is highly recommended for enthusiasts of speculative fiction and those drawn to the philosophical implications of horror. Long'Äôs vivid storytelling and profound insights challenge readers to confront their own fears and curiosities about the universe, making "And We Sailed the Mighty Dark" a significant addition to the canon of American literature.

    It is an unusual thing, to live in a botanical garden. But Simon and Gregor are an unusual pair of gentlemen. Hidden away in their glass sanctuary from the disapproving tattle of Victorian London, they are free to follow their own interests without interference. For Simon, this means long hours in the dark basement workshop, working his taxidermical art. Gregor's business is exotic plants—lucrative, but harmless enough. Until his latest acquisition, a strange fungus which shows signs of intellect beyond any plant he's seen, inspires him to attempt a masterwork: true intelligent life from plant matter. 
     
     
     
    Driven by the glory he'll earn from the Royal Horticultural Society for such an achievement, Gregor ignores the flaws in his plan: that intelligence cannot be controlled; that plants cannot be reasoned with; and that the only way his plant-beast will flourish is if he uses a recently deceased corpse for the substrate. 
     
     
     
    The experiment—or Chloe, as she is named—outstrips even Gregor's expectations, entangling their strange household. But as Gregor's experiment flourishes, he wilts under the cost of keeping it hidden from jealous eyes. The mycelium grows apace in this sultry greenhouse. But who is cultivating whom?

    Peter Storm was sold to the Devil at birth.  
      
    As a boy, he ran away from home to escape a satanic father and an uncaring mother -- and ended up begging in the streets of a pitiless city. 
    After joining a gang of street kids, he rose to be their leader. Peter became a callous criminal, preying on the weak and defenseless, dreaming of bloodshed. 
    Adopted by a Satanist, he attended his first black sabbath. He was excited by all the occult happenings -- sex orgies and possession by foul rampaging demons. Peter took the name of Sephtis and became a high priest. He carried out blood sacrifices in the name of Satan and spread disorder in the Christian ranks by posing as a youth pastor. 
    He raped, murdered, and destroyed with no conscience. For his loyalty to the Prince of Darkness outweighed any other cause.  
      
    But there was a price to be paid. And when that payment fell due, Peter Storm would face the ultimate horror . . .
