Synopsis

Jason C. Eckhardt has become renowned as one of the foremost weird artists of the present day. His illustrations of the work of H. P. Lovecraft, Ambrose Bierce, and many other classic and contemporary writers of horror fiction have become legendary. But over the course of his career, extending back to the 1980s, Eckhardt has also written occasional tales of terror and strangeness. These range from powerful Lovecraftian narratives (“The Hollow Sky,” “The Walker in the Night”) to eloquent ghost stories (“From the Realms of Glory”) to grim tales of sword and sorcery (“Lord of the Gallows”), and much else besides. Many of the tales are set in locales intimately known to the author, from the remote corners of Maine to the torrid heat of Texas. Eckhardt brings to his fiction a subtlety, a gift for evocative language, and a sensitivity to human reactions to the bizarre that bring to mind the titans of weird fiction upon whose work Eckhardt has drawn, from Lovecraft to William Hope Hodgson to Algernon Blackwood.
