In the depths of the cosmos there is madness to be found and there are stories to be told... The Elder Gods, Cthulhu, Nyarlethotep, and the like have a taste for fear, for madness, for flesh... But over the years they have grown bored with the taste of the standard straight, white male so often portrayed in the tales of the Mythos. Like a human being with a hankering for Thai after a steady diet of steak and potatoes, the Gods of the Mythos are craving something different... An African Igbo head man defends his tribe against eldritch incursion with the help of his own Gods... A deeply scarred man gathers strength from Sobek, the Egyptian God who claimed him young, as he stands against the horrors shoulder to shoulder with a Priestess of Bast... A Jewish lesbian rides into town to save it from the Unspeakable, with a little help from her girlfriend and her rich heritage... All this and more await you in these pages. Welcome to equal opportunity madness...

Buyer Beware! If you've recently approached a strange emporium of oddities or antiquities, I hope you've taken a few things into consideration... What urge brought you there? Were you drawn to a particular item on display? Did it call out to you? Though everything inside was for sale, did you consider how much you were willing to spend? Perhaps you proffered the listed price, or perhaps you haggled the price down a bit. But did you consider the imperceptible fine print? You may just find you've paid a great deal more than what your parcel is worth. The following twenty-seven works chronicle such transactions. When you purchase this anthology, be sure you're only paying the listed price to a reputable dealer. Otherwise, I cannot be responsible for the consequences.
In life things get twisted - bring death into it and it just gets worse... follow the twists and turns of the stories in this anthology of strange stories, of people and places which end up quite different from the way they started and be warned, anything can be twisted, even you...
The sky shines brightly above us and the moon and stars and sun make their revolutions but there is something else that is a constant and that is fear. Fear in all shapes and sizes, from the most minute to the largest, our lives are dictated by the pressures and diversions that fear presents. One way to conquer fear or, I hesitate to say, be chilled to the marrow is to read about it...to experience it through the eyes of another. This book is dedicated to those fears and their purveyors. I hope you enjoy this show, this grand ball of fears and frights with a moment of appreciated bliss. Read on gentle reader and be prepared to shiver with delight.
Man has ever fought man in some way or another. From the earliest civilisations which sought to take the land of others, there have been wars.

All are explored here by the talented Thirteen O'Clock authors who have taken this theme to their hearts and produced their fantastic stories. Enjoy!

We've all been there; the restaurant or eating establishment that you remember forever because it gave you nightmares or food poisoning. In The Last Diner, Theresa Derwin has collected together nineteen short stories set in or around eateries, where unnamed horrors lurk. From the insatiable appetite in 'All You Can Eat', to a totalitarian city ruler who wants the services of a famous baker; from a diner cook who likes to give his customers the 'special treatment' and a case where curiosity, and the need for a late night burger, killed the cat, these stories will make you laugh, cringe, possibly vomit up your last meal and shudder. From freegan restaurants, to burger joints, diners, five star establishments and the basement of a usurper's palace, you won't forget your meal at 'The Last Diner' in a hurry.

Be readin' ye these tales to thrill and chill, lest ye be forced to walk the star-plank!
