Over the past century or more, the genres of fantasy, horror, and supernatural fiction have increasingly expanded beyond literature and into an array of media—film, television, comic books, and art. Many of the leading figures in the field engage in multimedia enterprises that allow their work to reach a much wider public than the mere readers of books. In Disorders of Magnitude: A Survey of Dark Fantasy, Jason V Brock analyzes the intersection of literature, media, and genre fiction in essays, reviews, and pioneering interviews. Beginning with the pulp magazines of the 1920s, Brock studies such dynamic figures as H. P. Lovecraft, Forrest J Ackerman, Harlan Ellison, and the Southern California writers known collectively as “The Group”—Ray Bradbury, Charles Beaumont, Richard Matheson, Rod Serling, and William F. Nolan. This collection also includes filmmakers Roger Corman, George Romero, and Dan O’Bannon, and such fantasy artists as H. R. Giger. Graced with dozens of photographs from the author’s personal collection, this wide-ranging study offers a kaleidoscopic look at the multifarious ways in which fantasy, horror, and the supernatural have permeated our culture. Brock—himself a fiction writer, critic, and filmmaker—concludes the book with touching eulogies to the recently deceased Ray Bradbury and Ray Harryhausen. Highlighting so many figures essential to the understanding of fantasy and horror, Disorders of Magnitude will appeal to fans of these fiction genres around the world.

"[Brock] takes characters and situations into places I would never have thought of . . ."-Richard Matheson Jason V Brock is one of the most dynamic young writers of weird and science fiction, and this first collection of his short fiction reveals the wide diversity of his talents and the gripping power and intensity of his conceptions. Among these sixteen stories are such masterworks as "P.O.V.," a multilayered narrative about a grisly murder; "The History of a Letter," an ingenious riff on the iconic figure of H. P. Lovecraft; "Milton's Children," an expansive novella that hints of unthinkable horrors in the Antarctic; and "Simulacrum," a scintillating science fiction novella that evokes the shade of Philip K. Dick. Also included are thirteen of Brock's evocative poems. With a foreword by William F. Nolan and an introduction by James Robert Smith. Jason V Brock has been widely published in magazines, comics, and anthologies such as Butcher Knives &amp; Body Counts, Animal Magnetism, Fangoria, the Weird Fiction Review, S. T. Joshi's Black Wings anthology series, Like Water for Quarks, and many others.

Simulacrum and Other Possible Realities

Hippocampus Press

This much-anticipated second collection by Jason V Brock fulfills the promise of his successful first volume, Simulacrum and Other Possible Realities (2013). In pieces long and short, Brock uses weirdness, fantasy, and science fiction to probe deeply into the tortuous complexities of the human condition in the face of an indifferent or malignant universe.
Such works as "Brood," "The Shadow of Heaven," and the title story draw upon the cosmic terror of H. P. Lovecraft, while "Transposition" adapts themes from Robert W. Chambers's The King in Yellow in a story of medical horror. The grimness of war is the focus of "Memento Mori," and the inexplicable power of dreams is highlighted in "A Darke Phantastique."
This volume also features an unpublished, richly textured two-part post-apocalyptic novella, "Epistles from Dis"-a nightmarish epic that carries the reader along from beginning to end in appalled fascination. Included here are a brace of Brock's provocative and transgressive poems, ranging from the Miltonic "Fallen: A Lament and Affirmation" to the poem cycle "Out of Their Heads," a paean to decapitation in homage to Edgar Lee Masters (Spoon River Anthology). All in all, The Dark Sea Within presents a smorgasbord of dread that places the author among the leading voices of contemporary weird and horror fiction.

The Dark Sea Within: Tales and Poems

United States

H. P. Lovecraft wrote “The Call of Cthulhu” in 1926, initiating the Cthulhu Mythos, one of the most widely imitated shared-world universes in weird fiction. Even in his lifetime, many other writers added to the Mythos, and after his death hundreds if not thousands of authors of weird, fantasy, and science fiction have added their distinctive elaborations on Lovecraft’s basic themes and ideas. This volume features some of the best Cthulhu Mythos writing over the past century. Beginning with such rare but classic stories as Mearle Prout’s “The House of the Worm” and Robert Barbour Johnson’s “Far Below,” from the pages of Weird Tales, the anthology moves on to James Wade’s novella “The Deep Ones” and Ramsey Campbell’s refreshing riff on the “forbidden book” motif, “The Franklyn Paragraphs.” Acclaimed stories by T. E. D. Klein, Thomas Ligotti, Neil Gaiman, and W. H. Pugmire are also included. The book includes an array of original stories by such leading authors of Lovecraftian fiction as Caitlín R. Kiernan, Joseph S. Pulver, Sr., Donald Tyson, Cody Goodfellow, and Michael Shea. Gemma Files contributes a richly textured novella, while Jonathan Thomas offers a story full of his distinctive melding of horror and satire. A Mountain Walked is chock-full of stories old and new that highlight the endless variations that can be played on H. P. Lovecraft’s signature creation. S. T. Joshi is the leading authority on H. P. Lovecraft. He is the author of I Am Providence: The Life and Times of H. P. Lovecraft and the editor of the Black Wings series of Lovecraftian fiction. He edits the Lovecraft Annual and the Weird Fiction Review.

Dreams and nightmares—what Ambrose Bierce called “visions of the night”—are the basis of some of the greatest weird fiction in literary history. The unruly images that torment us in sleep are usually dispelled by the coming of day—but can they be dismissed so easily? Do nightmares have some impalpable reality that can affect our daily lives, the lives of those around us, and perhaps the very fabric of the universe? Who can say that the nightmare is merely a wisp of fancy engendered by our own minds? After all, it was Edgar Allan Poe who said: “All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.” All original nightmares by David Barker, Jason V Brock, Ramsey Campbell, Gemma Files, Richard Gavin, Caitlín R. Kiernan, Nancy Kilpatrick, John Langan, Reggie Oliver, W. H. Pugmire, Darrell Schweitzer, John Shirley, Simon Strantzas, Steve Rasnic Tem, Jonathan Thomas, Donald Tyson and Stephen Woodworth. This volume is edited by S. T. Joshi, a leading critic and anthologist of weird fiction.
