TOC & Book trailer - "A Season in Carcosa" edited by Joseph S. Pulver, Sr.

I was talking at the beginning of the year about two anthologies edited by Joseph S. Pulver, Sr. due to be released this year, “A Season in Carcosa”, a tribute to Robert W. Chambers’ “The King in Yellow”, and “The Grimscribe’s Puppets”, a tribute to Thomas Ligotti. Well, the time has come to see “A Season in Carcosa” a finished product and ready to reach the readers. Since Joseph S. Pulver, Sr.’s “A Season in Carcosa” is one the titles I wished to read as soon as I discovered it and I managed to muster enough patience until now, I believe that I can wait a few more days until I’ll be able to purchase a copy of the anthology. Until then, I would dwell on the anthology’s catchy trailer, very interesting synopsis and mighty table of contents.

H.P. Lovecraft. Karl Edgar Wagner. Peter Straub. Those are a few of the names that stand tall in our genre and when it comes to Robert W. Chambers and his King in Yellow they agree, Chambers' beguiling tales of the King In Yellow and Carcosa are among the best in "weird" fiction. Miskatonic River Press and Joseph S. Pulver, Sr. are proud and delighted to present an anthology of all new tales inspired by Chambers.

In haunted and splintered minds…

Minds shackled to lonely places…

In the unbound shadows infesting hearts of beautiful woman with frantic sensations…

In an old house where biblical thrived…

In threadbare truths, disturbed by despair, cobwebbed with illusions…

In far cold Carcosa…

Lies madness.

In A Season In Carcosa readers will find the strange and mysterious places of heart and mind that spring from madness, and those minds and the places touched by it are the realms that are mined. Chambers' legacy of the worms and soft decay that spring from reading the King In Yellow play stir both new and established talents in the world of weird fiction and horror to contribute all new tales that pay homage to these eerie nightmares. In Carcosa twilight comes and minds lost in the mirrors of lust and fear, are awash in legacies of shadows, not mercy. . .
