Necromancies and Netherworlds

<p>Darrell Schweitzer author of <em>The Mask of the Sorcerer</em> and former editor of <em>Weird Tales</em> collaborates with macabre artist-writer Jason Van Hollander on a series of remarkable fantasies variously grotesque horrific ethereal and darkly comic. Several of these form a cycle set in as-yet undiscovered countries where the common men have thrown down the gods and decadent nobles reach new heights of ecstasy and terror with the drug hanquil. You'll also encounter a wrenching yet romantic ghost story set in the American Southwest an intimately personal tale of the Cthulhu Mythos and the lingering legacy of Dunwich; plus a dance of death; and a house haunted by the terror of eternal life. Here are all the stories Schweitzer and Van Hollander have written together a unique blending which makes these two the most successful collaborative team since Burke and Hare.</p>
