Inhoudsopgave:

Who is this Mark McLaughlin person, and why should you read him?\u003cP\u003e\nMark—whom I’ve had the pleasure of publishing for nearly 20 years now—is one of those unique voices in the horror field. He doesn’t tread the safe (or even sane!) path, but goes off in quirky directions, and he’s happy to have company along the way. And while he’s poking around the oddest places, he finds humor in the outrageous and the unsettling. Vampires? Of course. Zombies? Definitely. But these are never quite the monsters you’re expecting.\nDon’t take my word for it. Here are some other opinions:\u003cP\u003e\n“In the most devious manner, McLaughlin’s stories achieve a high degree of demonism by perpetuating a sinister ‘humor’ at the gallows of the human comedy.” (Thomas Ligotti)\u003cP\u003e\n“Listen up. Noel Coward is back. Salvador Dali is back. Dylan Thomas is back. And they’re all rolled into one in the shape of Mark McLaughlin who writes stories that are wonderfully witty, surrealistic and ineffably strange. Absolutely fabulous.… If your palette is jaded, come to the feast that is Mark McLaughlin.” (Simon Clark)\u003cP\u003e\n“McLaughlin’s tales are laugh-out-loud assaults on consensus reality.” (Paul Di Filippo, ASIMOV’S)\u003cP\u003e\n“Reading Mark McLaughlin is a little like stepping out of the door of an airplane in mid flight. The view is pretty amazing, but the shock of impact may do you in...gruesome, funny and touching. Top that: anybody.…” (TANGENT)\u003cP\u003e\nSo, dig in and enjoy these 28 tales by one of the modern masters of the macabre!\u003cP\u003e\nPart 1: Cosmic Horrors\u003cBR\u003e\nThe House of the Ocelot\u003cBR\u003e\nQueen of the Vultures\u003cBR\u003e\nThe Foul One Lives to Destroy\u003cBR\u003e\nDer Fleischbrunnen\u003cBR\u003e\nA Beauty Treatment for Mrs. Hamogeorgakis\u003cBR\u003e\nToadface\u003cBR\u003e\nShoggoth Cacciatore\u003cBR\u003e\nMrs. Dakhamunzu\u003cBR\u003e\nUsed Viol, One Previous Owner\u003cBR\u003e\nThe Resurrection of Nephren-Ka\u003cP\u003e\nPART 2: Magic, Monsters, Zombies, And Demons\u003cBR\u003e\nAdroitly Wrapped\u003cBR\u003e\nWhy Cosmo Used to Wear a Lab Smock Every Halloween\u003cBR\u003e\nLargesse\u003cBR\u003e\nZOM BEE MOO VEE\u003cBR\u003e\nEmpress of the Living Dead\u003cBR\u003e\nascloseasthis\u003cBR\u003e\nScenes from a Foreign Horror Video, with Zombies and Tasteful Nudity\u003cBR\u003e\nAunt Paloma\u003cBR\u003e\nDiabolical Entities and How to Deal with Them\u003cBR\u003e\nThe Disciples of Monidroth\u003cP\u003e\nPART 3: Tales of the Surreal and the Bizarre\u003cBR\u003e\nThe Vainglorious Simulacrum of Mungha Sorcyllamia\u003cBR\u003e\nThe Astonishing Secret of the King of the Cats\u003cBR\u003e\nDeck the Halls with Guacamole\u003cBR\u003e\nThe Revelations of McDeth\u003cBR\u003e\nThe Agony of Claude Bawls\u003cBR\u003e\nDon’t Look in the Little Storage Room Behind the Furnace\u003cBR\u003e\nThe Tale of the Cat-Headed Man, the Man-Headed Dog, and the Lady with Rats for Hands\u003cBR\u003e\nDr. Belmont’s Hiking Buddy\u003cP\u003e\nIf you enjoy this ebook, check out the 400 other volumes in the MEGAPACK® \nseries, covering not just horror, but science fiction, fantasy, westerns, romance, and many other genres (even nurse novels!).
