Description

Cult authors Edward Lee and Mary SanGiovanni’s novel follows an insufferable horror-con lurker as he spurns the wrong woman and is cursed to a monstrous dimension full of Lovecraftian creations.

Professor Everard, weird fiction scholar and proclaimed critic of H.P Lovecraft's works, is no stranger to making people mad. Giving convention presentations on the triteness and melodrama of Lovecraft's work pays the bills, though. Sometimes he even gets laid.

When he angers a beautiful but dangerous witch and devotee of Lovecraft's work, she casts a spell on him, sending him to a dimension where Lovecraft's works are very real—and very deadly. Everard must find a way through this alternate dimension to get home, before the worst of Lovecraft's horrors prove what a master of monstrosities he really was.

Edward lee’s humorous transgressive style meets Mary SanGiovanni’s literary touch to carve out the Lovecraftian dimensions that is Strange Stones.

Advance Praise

PREVIOUS PRAISE FOR EDWARD LEE & MARY SANGIOVANNI

“Edward Lee holds a very special place in modern horror. He can and will gross you out or tweak your sex drive if he damn well feels like it—and he often does—Lee likes sex and guts and he’s not ashamed about it. He can out-splatter the most over-the-top splatterpunks, drive a story like a racehorse and he knows how to scare the hell out of you. But he can also slow you way down if he wants to and make you feel and think. And that’s what makes him unique. That he can do all this with such wit, intelligence and—dare I say it—sensitivity.” —Jack Ketchum, award-winning author of Off Season and "The Box"

"Mary SanGiovanni deftly mixes genres and voices, and her books are always creepy, unsettling, and thrilling." —Paul Tremblay, author of Cabin at the End of the World
