A Lush and Seething Hell by John Hornor Jacobs (Signed!)

Award-winning and critically acclaimed master of horror John Hornor Jacobs returns with a pair of chilling Lovecraftian horror tales that probe humanity’s thirst for violence and depravity and the evil that breeds within the human heart.

A brilliant mix of the psychological and supernatural, John Hornor Jacobs’ acclaimed Shirley Jackson Award–nominated novella, The Sea Dreams It Is the Sky examines life in a South American dictatorship. Centered on the journal of a poet-in-exile and his failed attempts at translating a maddening text, the story is told by a young woman trying to come to grips with a country that nearly devoured itself.

In My Heart Struck Sorrow, a librarian discovers Depression-era recordings from the Deep South—valuable archives of the rich folk history that survived in the face of encroaching modernity—and an accompanying journal. The journal may in fact be a ledger of one man’s descent into madness . . . and the records might be the musical stylings of the devil himself.

Breathtaking and haunting, A Lush and Seething Hell is a terrifying and exhilarating journey into the secret darkness inside us.
