Gods of a Nameless Country by Jeffrey Thomas
"With one 'short' short story and two longer shorts, the 200 odd pages of Jeffrey Thomas' new collection are packed with incident and flavor.

The first entry 'The Children of Lord Ob' serves more as an amuse-bouche to give a hint of the flavors infused" Read more of this review »

Jeffrey Thomas, Unholy Dimensions: Lovecraftian Tales
