Today is the week to get spooky, and Sea Lion Press has several books with a touch of horror to them:
"Confederate zombies and Frankenstein on the Nile, living nightmares and murderous institutions. Fear that grows within, and which closes in from without.
"What if werewolves were a real threat in fifties Europe? What if we could fix the human brain? What if Shelley hadn't gone to Switzerland?
"What if we could save ourselves from terror?
"Thirteen tales of horror - thirteen tales of another doom."
"After a snap general election is called, Christopher, a campaign organiser for the Liberal Party, is sent to a Scottish island to campaign in a previously safe seat. He discovers upon arrival that one of the island’s former MPs has been living out of sight for a rather long time, haunted by personal tragedy and determined to make good on a promise to open a door to another world. "Christopher finds himself asking what the truly Liberal course of action is and what sacrifices he is willing to make for it."
'But this is a 19th century detective noir thriller,' you may say, and it is - until you see, in the background, the religion in this alternate Burma is a little bit Lovecraft...
