Unique Refuge

A town trapped in the grip of spreading evil
Isolated on the moors of northern England, the town of Moonwell has remained faithful to their Druid traditions and kept their old rituals alive. Right-wing evangelist Godwin Mann isn’t about to let that continue, and his intolerant brand of fundamentalism has struck a chord with the residents. But Mann goes too far when he descends into the pit where the ancient being who’s been worshipped by the Druids for centuries is said to dwell….What emerges is no longer Mann, but a demon in Mann’s shape, and only the town’s outcasts can see that something is horribly wrong. Slowly, as the evil spreads, Moonwell becomes cut off from the rest of the world. Telephone lines become disconnected. Roads no longer lead out of town. And the monster’s power only grows…and grows.

C'était Clare qui conduisait. Rob était assis à côté d'elle. Soudain, un homme s'engagea sur la chaussée. Ellé écrasa la pédale de toutes ses forces, mais c'était celle de l'accélérateur. Avec l'embardée, la portière du passager s'ouvrit, vint heurter le réverbère, puis se referma brusquement avec un bruit étrange, inconnu... Rob était silencieux, la tête penchée hors de la vitre brisée, l'épaule pressée contre le rebord. Quelqu'un, dehors, le regardait fixement... Ce n'est que plus tard qu'elle comprit : Rob était mort. Il avbait perdu son bras dans l'accident. Et l'ambulance, la police... Ils cherchaient quelque chose. Ils cherchaient son bras ! Quelqu'un avait volé le bras de Rob...

La Poupée Qui Dévora Sa Mère

Le bus l'avait conduit au terminus. Il avait rencontré cette fille dans un bar. Et maintenant l'obscurité l'entourait comme une chair. Il repensa aux danses impudiques des sorcières nues. Mais cette fois, c'était autre chose. Des épines se battaient au-dessus de sa tête ; le sol boueux essayait d'avaler ses pieds. Il devait savoir. À tout prix. Et soudain ce fut la clairière ; il se sentit plus calme qu'il ne l'avait jamais été. Il contemplait la source de ses rêves. Des entrailles rocheuses et des profondeurs sous-marines, flottant dans un milieu qui n'était pas l'espace. Les Grands Anciens vivaient toujours, gargouilla la voix. Leurs rêves pouvaient atteindre les entrailles des femmes... et façonner des enfants à leur image. Ces êtres-là ne mouraient pas. Ils prenaient peu à peu la forme ancestrale, attendant que les étoiles atteignent la position propice. Bientôt il fera nuit...

Nouvelles légendes du mythe de Cthulhu : Le livre noir

The Long Lost begins with a sequence so haunting and bizarre that it almost seems a chapter out of legend. A witty, sexy married couple who live in urban England drive to the coast of Wales on a weekend holiday. On a lark, they clamber down a steep cliff to a seaside town that turns out to be utterly deserted. There's an island just off shore and the tide is out, so they walk out across the exposed sand. The empty streets and eerie absence of human voices, followed by the overgrown beauty of the island, seem to transport them into another world, another time. They stumble on an ancient stone cottage, where an old woman with long white hair lies motionless on a pallet. At first they take her for dead, but she slowly awakens. She turns out to be a long-lost relative. She offers no explanation for why she lives alone in a nearly empty, crumbling cottage on an uninhabited island next to a deserted village. The tide comes in. The three of them end up spending the night in the dark cottage. The couple take the old woman back to England with them.  Then their lives, and the lives of everyone who knows them, begin slowly and inexorably to fall apart. As Joel Lane writes in the horror review magazine Necrofile, "The Long Lost ... is written in a clear, vivid style which encompasses precise visual descriptions, ambiguous metaphors, and sudden changes of mood. The prose is so attractive that the fundamental strangeness of what is going on takes a long time to sink in; and the ending doesn't so much explain the story as send you away to think about it. The reader is, at various times, entranced, mystified, disturbed, appalled, provoked, and amused. Only twice before--in The Influence and Midnight Sun--has Campbell written at such a pitch of creative intensity." The Long Lost is a dark novel about sin, guilt, scapegoats, and the fragility of the self. It is leavened by black humor, and the distinct, if elusive, possibility of redemption. --Fiona Webster
