You just can't win.  You feel it before you see it, The Black Dog--the Cimmerian demon with baleful breath, diminishing the light wherever it tracks...  ...the size of a large calf, its footfalls are silent--the portents of death hidden behind caliginous evil. It squeezes into the soul. You know it because he scrunches your stomach into a tight paper-ball and forces it out through your anus. Then you're a goner...  You just can't win

In Burroughs and Scotland, Chris Kelso explores the relationship between William S. Burroughs (author of Naked Lunch, Junkie, and The Soft Machine) and a country very much attuned to the Beat author’s provocative, transgressive sci-fi style of literature. Kelso investigates why Burroughs was drawn to Scotland, why Scotland was drawn to Burroughs, and what exactly the author got up to during his various visits to Edinburgh.

Lovecraft eZine is a magazine of Weird Fiction and Cosmic Horror, with over 200,000 readers. Issue #37 featured editor Aaron J. French writes: I recently proposed to Mike Davis the idea of featuring several new stories in the eZine based on the fabled lost continent of Atlantis and the weird fiction worlds of H.P. Lovecraft. He happily agreed, and so I am pleased to bring you six new stories I selected and edited focusing on this theme. There is new work from Donald Tyson, John Langan, Erik T. Johnson, Jodi Renée Lester, Darren Speegle, and Gio Clairval. I’ve always been fascinated by Atlantean mythology and personally I think it mixes quite well with HPL’s Mythos. I hope you enjoy this special selection of stories and that you will check out the authors’ other work if you happen to like them. Thanks for tuning in! (Publisher’s note: Aaron’s themed tales are the first six stories in the table of contents. In addition to those, we’ve included three additional stories by Kurt Fawver, K.G. Orphanides, and Mark Howard Jones. — Mike Davis)

My bones feel new, brittle. You won't have heard any apocryphal stories about me because no one seems to know anything about me. My body is a sheet of paper from a worn manuscript, folded into the origami shape of a man. My life has been stuffed into a satchel and carried to publishers. Its words are my words. He has no name. He belongs to no race or nation. He has no definable personality or allegiance. Only the dead city of mirrors holds the key. From the mind of Chris Kelso, author of The Dregs Trilogy, comes I Dream Of Mirrors; a transgressive, sci-fi horror. "Chris Kelso writes in a style of broken glass and razor blades, barbed wire and gasoline." - John Langan, author of The Wide, Carnivorous Sky and Other Monstrous Geographies "Someday soon people will be naming him as one of their own influences." -- INTERZONE magazine
