Blood Will Have Its Season: noir goes weird

[ankh_hpl]

In the grand LJ tradition of putting out the good word for new books by friends, I am happy to report that Joseph S. Pulver, Sr.'s first collection, Blood Will Have Its Season, is out now from Hippocampus Press.

Joe is known to many Lovecraftians as the author of Nightmare's Disciple (the only serial killer Lovecraftian novel I know of!), but this new assortment of short stories, prose poems, and poetry takes another path through the mean streets of his imagination, this time incorporating Robert W. Chambers'  famed King In Yellow mythos.  The result is razor-edged modern noir, with a poetic yet brutal sensibility.  

With an introduction by noted independent scholar S.T. Joshi, and illustrations by Thomas S. Brown and Stanley C. Sargent -- including a killer cover I am a bit too tech-challenged to include here -- Blood Will Have Its Season is a unique addition to the darkest segment of weird literature.
