![]() Stalinism had not died with the Dear Leader. ‘I gave her five thou for the lot.’ Vladimir Tatlin, the great Soviet Constructivist, had died in 1953, months after his tormentor, Joseph Stalin. ‘She’s been hiding her husband’s work under the linoleum of her bedroom all these years.’ He examined his buffed nails. ‘I went to see the widow Tatlin this morning,’ he said, in a patrician drawl not his own.

Some of the protagonists commit themselves to the eldritch or the voidal, becoming transformed or transported by their initial encounter, while others form secret covens of resistance and retelling. There is terrible joy and sadness here, for all this human wreckage. Eight stories of thirteen deal with regular people whose downward trajectories in life lead them outwards, toward fatal intersections with the living Mythos. A majority of the stories address the incursion or return of Lovecraft’s Great Old Ones – or, rather, their ineluctable presence behind the quotidian façade of modern life. A testament to Shea’s extraordinary talent as a writer and to the emotive and literary value of Mythos tales, in general. ![]() ![]() He is an award-winning essayist who has written for The New York Times, The Washington Post, GQ, Sight and Sound, Uncut, Mojo, and numerous other publications.
