Lovecraft on LSD!
The Unspeakable written by Dan Clore is definitely not for the squeamish. Good horror literature as this, is indeed rare. Deeply dark without being prurient. Each tale is a fantabulous mind-bending trip of Lovecraftian proportions. All the tales (stand seperate), form a cohesive binding whole that makes the Unspeakable, speak. Each story is a "penny dreadful" written by...

Ouch
It is reputed that the author suffers from chronic pain. It is not clear whether that pain is the cause or a consequence of his writing style. My guess: the former.

This review is from: The Unspeakable and Others (Paperback)
The Unspeakable written by Dan Clore is definitely not for the squeamish. Good horror literature as this, is indeed rare. Deeply dark without being prurient. Each tale is a fantabulous mind-bending trip of Lovecraftian proportions. All the tales (stand seperate), form a cohesive binding whole that makes the Unspeakable, speak. Each story is a "penny dreadful" written by the exo-outerly enigmatic Lord Weyrdgliffe of the Waughters. Highly recommend this in small doses on those nights you want to be creeped out!

A master of the macabre,

This review is from: The Unspeakable and Others (Paperback)
Mr. Clore is a master of the macabre prose poem. He is astonishingly inventive, and devises images not soon forgotten. He is willing to take risks from which most writers would flee in terror. He is unlikely to appeal to Babbitts or the semiliterate, but admirers of Poe, or the Decadents, or Clark Ashton Smith, should find his work of considerable interest. Sophisticated Lovecraftians will enjoy the outlandish and sometimes hilarious Cthulhuvian essays which are also included.

For the Strong of Stomach,

This review is from: The Unspeakable and Others (Paperback)
Over the top grotesques, similar to C. A. Smith if he had been un-edited. Makes Stephen King look like a sissy.
