In this revised, second edition of The Friendly Horror and Other Weird Tales, be prepared to explore the everyday with a macabre, decidedly Lovecraftian twist. The landscape of the authors collective imagination allows the mundane world to transcend into a place where kittens journey in time and space, and sometimes pick up hitchhikers, where humans aren't the only ones who bring their children to work and storms can become creatures with their own appetite, where a simple ice cream cone takes on a nefarious edge.
The titular piece, The Friendly Horror is a contemporary post-script to Shadows over Innsmouth. The Friendly Horror is a collection of Lovecraft inspired tales eloquently written with an unmistakable passion and voice for the genre. ... Luke Spooner does an amazing job of giving that haunting, sketchy feel to his drawings that only enhance the reading experience. They are a perfect complement to each tale ...Burdge and Burke describe the transition and journey to Y'ha-nthlei the way C.S. Lewis describes Narnia...-Kris Lugosi, The Horror Society This charming book is a ...delightful celebration of that delicious state of being called 'Lovecraftian.' ...this duo can write, with excellent effect....-W. H. Pugmire I do not often think of horror as being friendly. Jessica Burke and Anthony Burdge have shown me the error of my ways with The Friendly Horror & Other Weird Tales. They have taught me that it is possible to feel the creeping dread of cosmic horror with a smile on my face.... This wide assortment of tales invites you in with a kind smile and a gentle nudge and, like with a friend or partner you trust implicitly, you invariably walk hand-in-hand through the darkness. However, you soon realize that the person holding your hand isn't who you thought they were... but by then it's far too late, and far too dark, to turn back.-Clint Hale, The Dark of Things
