And I really enjoyed it! Definitely the best #ResidentEvil movie! Also very #lovecraftian 🙏🏻

#Lovecraftian horror is a type of horror story that emphasizes cosmic dread, forbidden knowledge, inhuman influences, religion, unnatural phenomena, and much more. Lovecraft-esque books aren’t out to shock you; they are here to creep you out with the incomprehensible things that the author describes.

So, I've been wanting to do a #HorrorShortFilm fest online somehow. Are folks able to watch #YouTubeVideos ? I have curated playlists that we could watch at the same time. OR, I could try and post individual videos and delete them afterwards.

Which option would work best for folks?

“So they disembarked and started the last part of their voyage. ‘We should have taken sledges and dogs with us’, said Hansen. But the Duke said, ‘That won’t be necessary. We’re not far.‘“

“But it would be useful. They all had dogs with them on their expeditions – and finally ate them up...“

“Nobody gets eaten in this story. At least no dog.“ Grandma giggled and continued:

“And indeed, they had a short walk of no more than half a day, but the treasure hunters were shivering because of the cold in the ice cave and their mood became more and more depressed with every step they made towards the south pole. Their compasses...“

“Grandma? What if they have to pee? Wouldn’t it – you know – freeze?“

“Nobody had to. They looked at their compasses instead. The magnetic needles were turning crazily. Around and around and around, some clockwise, some counter-clockwise.“

“You know, it’s the magnetic…“

“‘North pole in the Antarctic’, said Hansen, the party’s wiseacre, as there is always someone who has to speak out such a thing in a most inconvenient moment. But that did not save him, because right in this moment the Duke pointed to a hole in the icy ground and shouted, ‘Finally, I made it! We’re here!‘ and he started to laugh diabolically and to chant absurd phrases like ‘Ya-naai ga-phmp! Iä! Iä! Ph'nglui mglw'nafh…‘ and while he sang the men saw his eyes burning madly and his body slowly transforming into an amorphous hump with slimy excrescences all over its skin. His companions turned around in terror but they wouldn’t escape. All of a sudden, the light in the ice cave turned green, and from all around, slightly humanoid creatures with dog-like heads and arms resembling poisonous snakes, were apppoaching, half walking, half crouching, their snouts effusing the disgusting stench of hell! The noises they made… Oh, look – there! – One of the monster’s tentacles is coming out ouf your blanket and – help! It’s … coming for… No!“

Grandma’s face turned normal again. Both children had passed out. She pulled the blankets up to the children’s shoulders, stood up and headed for the door.

“This was fast. Sleep well, my darlings!“

“The Dealings of Daniel Kesserich”, by Fritz Leiber

The very immensity of the desert impressed me more than I had expected. Being on the edge of the little town of Smithville seemed to me like being on the boundary between the finite and the fearful infinite.

The Dealings of Daniel Kesserich was published for the first time in 1997 — five years after Fritz Leiber’s death, and sixty years after it was written. The manuscript was lost in the 1950s and resurfaced in the 1990s.

In this novella, George Kramer receives a letter from longtime friend John Ellis, who lives in the small desert town of Smithville. In the letter, Ellis tells of the death of his wife, Mary, and Kramer decides to visit his old friend. Upon his arrival, strange things start to happen.

This is a gem of a book, and it belongs on the shelf of every weird fiction reader. Adding to the appeal are the illustrations by Jason Van Hollander (see below for an example).

Enjoy!
Mike Davis

Author Spotlight: Contemporary Lovecraftian Thriller author A.M. Shilling

A. M. Shilling (she/her) is an avid storyteller and artist interested in morally questionable people, their terrible circumstances, and how they manage to love one another despite it all. When she’s not contemplating her favorite villains like a sommelier appreciating fine wine, she enjoys roleplaying games and watching cooking shows with her husband.

Read a Sample of The Devouring: amshilling.com/books/the-devouring

Your novel The Devouring came out in April this year (2026), a blend of crime thriller and cosmic horror. What inspired you to merge these genres, and have an assassin and his wife, a coroner, at the heart of a cosmic horror mystery?

I’ve always loved the two genres separately and thought it would be fun to combine my favorite ideas and tropes from both of them into my first novel. I wanted to write a story that I’d love to read if I saw it on the shelf, so The Devouring is very much a reflection of my particular tastes in fiction.

I knew the main characters had to be a certain way, too—not only to support such a dark storyline and themes, but also to appropriately represent the two genres. The assassin was an easy choice, but it took some brainstorming before I settled on a doctor for the second main character.

What are your main influences in the thriller and horror genres, and, if you use comparisons to market, what comps do you use for The Devouring and why?

My biggest inspiration in the cosmic horror genre will always be the work of one of its original authors, H. P. Lovecraft. The combination of existential dread and horrific inevitability that now defines the genre, as well as his Cthulhu Mythos, captivated me as a teenager. They continue to influence my writing and worldbuilding today.

I wrote The Devouring partially as a homage to the genre. I also love a good action thriller, especially about criminals. They’re just plain fun. In particular, I love John Wick. Its fantastical lore about an international organization of assassins inspired the criminal underworld in my own story, though I did try to make mine more realistic compared to what we see in those movies.

I use John Wick as one of my comps when marketing, paired alongside Lovecraft’s short story, “The Colour Out of Space.” I picked it because the eldritch god in The Devouring has some similarities to the entity in “Colour.” Unfortunately, I can’t reveal any more beyond that.

Introduce us to your main characters, Jason and Ayana. How did they each develop, and how did you put yourself into their respective mindsets while writing?

Jason and Ayana (and a third character, Jason’s brother) were actually inspired by characters my friends and I wrote as part of a small roleplaying forum a few years ago. When I left the forum to pursue my own creative projects, I knew I would miss my character too much if I stopped writing him. He eventually became Jason.

As for Ayana, while she shares a couple of traits with her inspiration, she developed into a very different character. I brainstormed numerous iterations of potential character arcs for both Jason and Ayana until they became the protagonists the story needed. Putting myself into their respective mindsets was an interesting exercise, but also a lot of fun!

I did extensive research into antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), including reading anecdotes from individuals with ASPD and their partners, to get a better understanding of the typical mindset. When writing Jason’s POV chapters, I had to think like him and view the world the way he would, avoiding specific trains of thought and emotional reactions in the narration. It was easier with Ayana, who is more like the average person. She is the character who’s most like me, so I was able to draw from and amplify my own perspectives and personality traits. Of course, there are many points where our mindsets diverge; how she views Jason and their marriage is one such example.

One of the perhaps more surprising themes for a thriller/horror is love, and all the different ways it can be expressed. Can you talk us through how that central theme came about, and did you try writing Jason and Ayana’s marriage dynamics in different ways before you felt you got it right, or was this dynamic something that you envisioned right from the start?

It’s very common in horror fiction for married couples to have some deep, interpersonal issue, or for one of the spouses to be the villain in the relationship. Instead of writing that, I wanted to depict a married couple working together to overcome the external conflicts of the plot without suffering any interpersonal ones.

This required a very specific dynamic between Jason and Ayana, so I knew from the start that their relationship had to be a certain way. One thing to keep in mind, too, is that Jason’s nature prevents him from feeling empathy. He is incapable of viewing other humans as people. This is what ultimately raises the question of how one might define love in the first place. Can his behavior in the book be considered acts of love, regardless of his mindset and motivations? That’s what I want readers to ask themselves.

How did you go about creating the cult in the background of the story whose manipulations are the driving force of the plot, and what did you draw upon to design its power structure, motivations and goals?

I don’t want to give away too many details about this cult, because I think it’s more fun for readers to put the puzzle pieces together themselves. What I will say is that the power structure, motivations, and goals are commonly depicted in other horror fiction. Because The Devouring is meant to be a homage, I didn’t want to stray far from certain familiar and beloved tropes. However, I did include a plot twist that I don’t think fans of cosmic horror will expect.

Describe your target audience – who would love this? If you’ve had any reviews/feedback you’re especially pleased about, let us know here!

Fans of cosmic horror will definitely love The Devouring, but anyone who enjoys dark storylines, morally gray characters, fast-paced action, and high-stakes thrillers would have a good time reading it. Reviewers love Jason and Ayana for their nuance and complexity despite their questionable morals, and everyone who’s read the book has raved about how un-put-downable it is.

The principal exception to my dislike of #Fantasy is where #Magic is left alone and allowed to be itself—its fundamental irrationality is recognized and maybe even celebrated, those who wield it either embrace the psychosis or define good and evil on the basis of giving in to the psychosis

I suppose that’s a very #Lovecraftian opinion, though, so I’m admitting I want Fantasy to be #Horror and I know that

DESERT RADIO: “Pontypool meets Lost Highway filtered through a cosmic horror lens”

Desert Radio by Pamela M. Durgin. Published by Word Horde.

“Desert Radio is one of the most mature and affecting cosmic horror novels I’ve read this side of Laird Barron and Gemma Files. This book is an apprehension engine creating images and sounds (yes, sounds!) that will burrow under all the layers of your skin.” —Paul Tremblay, author of A Head Full of Ghosts and Dead But Dreaming of Electric Sheep

Ross Lockhart sent me an email a while back with a list of upcoming Word Horde books. As I was scrolling the list, Desert Radio by Pamela M. Durgin caught my eye. The book synopsis pushed many of my buttons: a 1990s desert setting, night radio, and of course, cosmic horror. I asked Ross to send it to me, which he kindly did.

While I waited for my copy to arrive in the mail, I kept wondering if this book could possibly live up to my expectations. Well, it didn’t; it blew them away. This is a novel that every fan of weird fiction, cosmic horror, and, frankly, horror in general needs to read.

Pre-order it; you’ll thank me, I promise.

(On that note: If you think you’re going to read this book, don’t wait to order it until it comes out. Pre-orders really help publishers and writers to gauge interest. It’s one of the best things you can do for a writer, second only to reviewing it.)

Get Desert Radio here.

Book synopsis:

The California desert hides a lot of things. For Gloria, it is a place to get away from her past and her addictions. Gloria expected to find a quiet place, where salt flats and dunes stretch on and the night sky is littered with stars. What she didn’t expect to find was an oasis, a community, and a job as a late-night DJ on a rock-and-roll radio station.

There is strangeness in the desert. Missing persons. Ancient petroglyphs. Distorted voices on the radio. Ghostly dogs. And more. Government conspiracies, weird rituals, and unfathomable entities that have been visiting the area for centuries.

Sure, the people in the desert are little bit strange, a little bit paranoid. But they’re survivors, just like Gloria.

Things are about to get very weird.

Get Desert Radio here.

Here’s what others had to say:

“Desert Radio is a complex novel with grand weirdness that taps into the curiosity we have as human beings, as well as our many vulnerabilities. The uncanny, the liminal, and the wondrous unfold in so many fascinating ways. It’s Pontypool meets Lost Highway filtered through a cosmic horror lens. One of my favorite authors writing today.”
—Richard Thomas, author of Transubstantiate

“Here’s a PSA for you: Pamela Durgin knows secrets. She knows the great deserts of the American West are as weird as the ancient forests of the North—and she knows these deserts come alive at night. She knows the slow, soft tread of the tarantula, and the scorpion’s sudden sting—and she knows these are not the strangest creatures moving through the dark. Not even close. She knows that the key to so much of the best Weird Fiction—from Blackwood and Hodgson right up till now—is atmosphere. And she knows how to build it. She also knows when to strike. And where. Pamela Durgin knows secrets. Maybe more than she should. In Desert Radio she’ll share them with you. Maybe more than you’re ready to learn.”
—Scott Nicolay, author of And At My Back I Always Hear

“Outré radio transmissions. Clandestine government experiments. Otherworldly beings. Cults and occult rituals. A desert town whose blistering heat incubates dark secrets. Pamela Durgin’s fantastic debut novel Desert Radio reads like Banshee Chapter meets From Beyond.
—Matthew M. Bartlett, author of Gateways to Abomination and Dangerous Creeps

“A shimmering descent into madness. This is a tale of betrayal drenched in a beautiful weirdness. Atmospheric, tense, and delicious, Durgin makes the heat and grit of the desert feel like pleasure.”
—S.L. Coney, author of Wild Spaces, an Esquire Best of Horror 2023 pick

“Pamela Durgin’s debut is a dust devil of fantastic weird fiction and liminal high-strangeness dialed to eleven. Government conspiracy, MK ULTRA, Crowley, & numbers stations all converge in a tale I simply couldn’t put down. Highly recommended.”
—Todd Keisling, Bram Stoker Award-nominated author of Devil’s Creek and The Sundowner’s Dance

"It feels as if a dark yearning for creativity has been planted within me. A compulsion so strong that it shatters my own boundaries and propels my art to new heights, but also into unforeseen depths."

Thinking of writing a Cthulhu mythos story that takes place circa 2000. I kind of want an updated one. Perhaps they were contemporary when Lovecraft wrote them, but the mythos always feels like a period piece to me, so an updated telling also needs to be in the past.

I know how I want to end it. An ending to strike untold horror in the hearts of anyone that remembers the turn of the millennium… a Nokia 3310 cellphone… BROKEN IN HALF!!!!!
