The Lovecraft Squad by John Llewellyn Probert
The first novel in a new series following the exploits of a secret organization dedicated to battling the eldritch monstrosities given form in H. P. Lovecraft's fevered imagination.
"A grisly, gripping tale of terror with roots in medieval English history and Lovecraftian horror" * Shelf Awareness *
"Zombies and Cthulhu—need I say more? This novel takes elements from the Zombie Apocalypse! series and weaves them expertly with elements from the H.P. Lovecraft mythos to bring us an energetic and detailed view of a world teetering on the brink of destruction by way of the eldritch gods. This one is a winner, bringing together two horror genres successfully and never compromising on the details or fear-inducing situations." * Criminal Element *
"A smashing, wild ride that should be on your reading list." * Scifi Movie Page *
"Probert evokes horrors with cinematic vividness." * Publishers Weekly *
"The pieces of a truly great ghost story are all present, with the added fun of the exploits of [the Lovecraft Squad]. Horror fans will enjoy this one." * Booklist *
"Smartly combining Lovecraftian and classical mythologies, Probert does an excellent job of creating a suspenseful and often horrific atmosphere without indulging in gratuitous gore or violence. Fans of Lovecraft and horror should enjoy." * Library Journal *
"One of our field’s most celebrated horror editors." * Locus, The Magazine of Science Fiction & Fantasy [praise for Stephen Jones] *
"Stephen Jones keeps his severed finger on horror’s pulse." * Time Out (London) [praise for Stephen Jones] *
"A journey into the stratosphere of the horror genre, where the bizarre and grotesque are indistinguishable from the sublime and underlying it all is a fearsome engine of metaphysics. A tour de force that dazzles with the wealth of invention and the sheer spectacle committed to the page, with characters and reader never given a moment to catch their breath. I loved every minute of this book." * Black Static Magazine *
