Copping Squid and Other Mythos Tales

by Michael Shea

Product Description

Rocked by the gentle sea, the City sleeps; but its dreams are not its own...

With eight psychotropic visions of damnation and transformation in the urban
coral reef of San Francisco, COPPING SQUID forms a mosaic of
otherworldly menace shot through with glimpses of awe-inspiring
majesty: of invisible outsiders and self-medicating seekers whose
desperate prayers and hidden rituals lead them to behold their alien
reflections in the all-seeing eyes of the secret masters of creation.

With the deceptive ease and streetwise enlightenment of a weird storytelling
master, Michael Shea fearlessly sounds the unplumbed depths of the
Cthulhu Mythos to witness visions from which traditional cosmic horror
has always averted its dark-adapted gaze.
