Southern Fried Cthulhu
(2024)An anthology of stories edited by James Palmer
H.P. Lovecraft. His fiction conjures images of sleepy New England villages, ivy-covered walls, and fragile academics paying the ultimate price for gaining forbidden knowledge from eldritch tomes.
But what would happen if Lovecraft’s elder things ventured down south? What would they make of Waffle Houses, monster trucks, and trailer parks? What dark secrets might be lurking under the kudzu?
We’ve seen how Lovecraft’s stodgy academics deal with elder things from beyond, but what would a bunch of beer-swilling, gun-toting rednecks think of Shoggoths or Night Gaunts? How would they react to an ancient, eldritch horror gurgling up from the depths of their favorite fishing spot? What would they make of ancient, cyclopean ruins in the middle of a swamp?
Join John Hartness (Bubba the Monster Hunter), Dan Jolley (DC Comics' Firestorm), Edward M. Erdelac (Rainbringer: Zora Neale Hurston Against The Lovecraftian Mythos, The Merkabah Rider series), David Boop (Straight Outta Tombstone) Jayme Lynn Blaschke (Interzone, Electric Velocipede), and a bushel of amazing authors as they explore the Lovecraftian Mythos with a Southern flair.
Ia, Ia Cthulhu fhtagn, ya'll!
Genre: Science Fiction
