CHM #44
(2024)February 2024
(Book 44 in the Cosmic Horror Monthly series)
An anthology of stories edited by Charles Tyra
Well start things off with a nice relaxing dinner party, only one of the guests is an evil celestial being in You Are Cordially Invited to the Last Dinner Party. Then in a brilliant showing by CHM alum Erik McHatton, the cosmic and the weird go hand in hand in We Must Be Rabbits. A bond grows between a boy and his puppet in the Ligottian nightmare Saywakaw. Then enjoy an insightful breakdown of differing philosophies on ghosts by J.A.W. McCarthy called Why Cant We Live With Ghosts followed by an interview with Nicole Cushing discussing her latest novella.
In Pink Smoke, something other than lava has erupted from Italys Mt. Etna. Then, a man attempts to connect the dots in the disappearance of his father, a writer whose stories prove more powerful than words in A Book of String, A Book of Thread. We are treated to a fresh and vivid take on a Lovecraftian trope in FairyTale Lost before the blood of a giant arthropod proves to be a powerful aphrodisiac in Black Ichor. At last, well wrap things up this month with an obscure classic from deep within the crypt called The Clock by W.F. Harvey.
Genre: Horror
