Week 120 – Weekly Horror Short Story Reviews: Burleson, Barron, Curran, and Thomas

Welcome to Week 120 of my horror short fiction review project! There’s a wildly diverse array of stories on offer this week. I would recommend two of particular note: “Charnel House” by Tim Curran, which follows on very nicely from Lovecraft’s “Herbert West,” and “Ghost Lake” by Donald R. Burleson, who does a great job of revisiting Ramsey Campbell’s horrific Great Old One Glaaki.

Made in Goatswood: New Tales of Horror in the Severn Valley, edited by Scott David Aniolowski (Chaosium, 1995)

“Ghost Lake” by Donald R. Burleson

Roger is a young man who has become obsessed with the folklore surrounding the Severn Valley and decides to camp on the edge of the lake where the elder god Glaaki is said to live. He finds that the lake has been drained—no bodies or anything terrible found there—though the houses where his cult was said to inhabit are still there, though they are in bad shape. Roger discovers that a ghostly/spectral version of the lake reappears at night in its original spot (I like the idea of an entire lake as a ghost). Roger sees the monstrous image of Glaaki in the lake and flees, but then comes to realize that Glaaki has been manipulating his whole life—for many years—to engineer this encounter. Some very nice outdoor atmosphere here; it’s not quite as good as “The Willows,” but it’s good stuff nevertheless.

The Beautiful Thing That Awaits Us All, by Laird Barron (Night Shade Books, 2014)

“The Siphon”

I honestly don’t quite know what to make of this one: it’s just so odd and it leaves so many questions unanswered. Lancaster is a senior sales executive for a multinational corporation who was also recruited by the NSA years ago. He is asked by his NSA handler to get to know an academic and a wealthy foreign businessman, and manages to arrange for both men and their various companions to tour one of his company’s sites. He entertains them and strikes up relationships, but the whole group—except for Lancaster—is massacred and sacrificed the one or more elder gods by a couple shapeshifters who have infiltrated the group. Lancaster is temporarily left alive, at least temporarily, to bear witness to the events and let the NSA know what had happened (why would the elder gods care if the NSA knows?). Oh and Lancaster turns out to be a (former?) serial killer who has never been caught. Some interesting imagery and ideas idea, and I did find it to be an intriguing story, but gosh this one was strange.

“Charnel House” by Tim Curran

A really excellent piece of body horror. The story is set after the events depicted in HPL’s original “Herbert West” story. The community of Bolton, Massachusetts is still cleaning up the aftermath of Herbert West’s experiments with reanimating the dead and what West left behind. The narrator of the story is a reporter whose pregnant sister’s corpse has been stolen from the family crypt (I think we all know what happened to her). There is a very nice final bit to this one with Herbert West’s monstrous experiments on the sister and her unborn child. Gruesome and absolutely lovely. Recommended.

“Mobymart After Midnight” by Jonathan Thomas

Not a good story. A Walmart IT guy who hates his job comes to work late one night to find the place overrun by vampires with all workers and customer slaughtered by the undead. He escapes and the whole thing gets hushed up. As it turns out, the store was built on the site of an ancient graveyard where the protagonist’s ancestor (Warren, from HPL’s “The Statement of Randolph Carter”) died and turned into one of the undead. While I appreciated the HPL tie-in, the whole story was sadly underdeveloped. I’m really not sure what the point of it all was, except to make a tired comparison between corporate consumer culture and bloodsuckers. I get it, I really do: I’m sure that working at Walmart sucks. But that doesn’t mean we need a quasi-Mythos story about it.

Week 119 – Weekly Horror Short Story Reviews: Attanasio, Barron, Price, Cannon, Murray, Burleson, Hoffman, and Goodfellow

Welcome to Week 119 of my horror short fiction review project! Today is our first week of Made in Goatswood, a Ramsey Campbell tribute anthology in which other authors write stories set in his Severn Valley setting, where all sorts of terrible things have been happening for a very long time. Of the four stories I’m reviewing today, my favorite was clear: “In the Shadow of Swords” by Cody Goodfellow. This is an absolutely perfect technothriller that uses the Cthulhu Mythos. What a dark, evocative story!

Made in Goatswood: New Tales of Horror in the Severn Valley, edited by Scott David Aniolowski (Chaosium, 1995)

“A Priestess of Nodens” by A. A. Attanasio

Evocatively written but I’m not sure what the point of it was. A pagan coven is worshipping in the Goatswood (part of Ramsey Campbell’s notorious Severn Valley) as they do every year. This year, they are joined by a woman named Dana Largo, who most of the local pagans had believed had died several years previously of cancer or some other chronic illness. Dana has returned at the peak of health, and says that she now worships the elder god Noden , who she eventually reveals restored her to full health. Dana leads the coven’s worship ceremony and uses Nodens’ power to restore the coven’s elderly priestess’ youth and vitality. Interesting enough, but…why? What was the point of it all? There’s a very brief and subtle hint that perhaps Nodens had some kind of dark purpose, but that’s it. Where’s the conflict? Where’s a clear sense of menace, or that the priestess is going to have to pay some terrible price for Nodens’ gift?

The Beautiful Thing That Awaits Us All, by Laird Barron (Night Shade Books, 2014)

“The Carrion Gods in Their Heaven”

Not bad, but kind of a minor story for Barron, I think. A pair of lesbian lovers flee one of the women’s abusive husband and end up in a remote cabin in the woods. One of the women seems to be sort of directed there by an ancestor who had a nasty reputation for dabbling in the occult. There, she begins to use a tattered old pelt that the sinister ancestor used to transform himself into a werecoyote. She then uses it to tear apart the two people the husband sent to spy on them. My least favorite story in the collection thus far.

“Herbert West—Reanimated: A Round Robin” by Robert M. Price, Peter H. Cannon, Will Murray, Donald R. Burleson, and Charles Hoffman

An interesting experiment, but also a case study in why these round robin stories rarely work. (Maybe I am just jaded because years ago I was involved in a round robin novel project that went off the rails and died before it was ever my turn.) This is a six-part novelette by five authors (Robert Price writes the opening and closing sections) exploring the further adventures of HPL’s mad scientist Herbert West that picks up where HPL left off. At the outset of the story, West is now a reanimated corpse who has sought out the help of his old assistant two years after the close of HPL’s original story. West needs the knowledge contained in the brain of a mummified Egyptian sorcerer, so they steal the mummy and transplant West’s brain into the mummy then retransplant it in West’s body, then travel to Egypt to acquire some exotic materials hidden by the ancient sorcerer in life. It’s that kind of story. They travel to Britain, and tangle with a reanimated bog mummy there, and are put on trial by a horde of the reanimated dead (including some that are mere reanimated body parts) before escaping. (This is a classic pulp trope with a show trial by villains, though usually it’s a hero who’s being subjected to this.) Then Herbert West realizes that even phlegm and vomit can be reanimated and granted malevolent sapience. West is consumed by his own reanimated vomit, which he then assumes control over. This section is Donald Burleson’s fault. Rather than being horrific, he’s devolves into absurdity and self-parody. Burleson’s collaborators find a way to extricate themselves from the ridiculous position that Burleson placed them in, and manage to salvage the story. West then discovers the  means to transfer his consciousness to other bodies. Taking a cue from HPL in “The Case of Charles Dexter Ward,” West inhabits the body of an attractive young woman and seduces and marries his old assistant before revealing himself. The point of all of this, as it turns out, was for West to have himself impregnated so that he could bear a male heir whose body he could take possession of. Some awkward twists and turns here—clearly each author had free reign to develop their portion of the story—but enjoyable and extremely pulpy. Burleson almost wrecked this story and Price and Hoffman must do yeoman work to set the story back on course after Burleson’s near-disastrous contribution, but I’d recommend this one nevertheless.

A Mountain Walked: Great Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos, edited by S.T. Joshi (Dark Regions Press, 2015)

“In the Shadow of Swords” by Cody Goodfellow

Revell is an UN weapons inspector searching for chemical and biological weapons hidden in Iraq in the late 1990s. His group detects an emergency radio call at a hitherto unknown and unvisited site codenamed Tiamat that appears to be a covert chemical/biological weapons laboratory. They visit and eventually force their way in. The first half of the story is well-done technothriller. The second is where the Lovecraftian cosmic horror begins. The site is built on the remnants of a Sumerian facility that has deep, sinister purposes of cosmic horror. I’m going to spoil the hell out of what Revell finds here because it’s just too good not to share, so consider yourself forewarned. The Sumerians were descended from exiles or an offshoot of the inhabitants of K’n-yan (see HPL’s “The Mound,” which is amazing), a vast subterranean civilization of humanoids. For most authors, this would be enough of a revelation; not so for Goodfellow, who quickly moves past this to reveal deeper truths. This site is actually build over a kind of “hothouse” (which human myths have described as the Garden of Eden), which was built by Lovecraft’s Old Ones (see “At the Mountains of Madness”). This hothouse is a kind of automated facility that is designed to release an entirely new global ecosystem of various (horrifying) flora and fauna capable of supplanting all current species when certain environmental conditions are met. The implications of this are vast and well worth contemplating. This was a really, really good story that my terse description has not done justice to. This is how to write a Mythos technothriller. Goodfellow should be applauded for this one.

Week 118 – Weekly Horror Short Story Reviews: Campbell, Barron, Shiflet, Barrass, and Tyson

Welcome to Week 118 of my horror short fiction review project! Today is our last day reading the couple stories in Ramsey Campbell’s collection Demons by Daylight that I had not already reviewed; next week we will move onto the Campbell tribute anthology Made in Goatswood, coincidentally also the title of the Campbell story I’m reviewing this week. The best story of the week was “Virgin’s Island” by Donald Tyson, one of the best pieces of weird fiction I’ve read lately. This is the very definition of how to write a Cthulhu Mythos story today.

Demons by Daylight, by Ramsey Campbell (Carroll & Graf, 1990)

“Made in Goatswood”

Terry is dating Kim and pressures her for sex, which she resists because of her religious upbringing. He has given Kim a set of garden gnomes; it is implied (vaguely) that they are somehow sinister. Later Kim and Terry fight and seem to break up. After that Kim is attacked or harmed in some way, and it seems that the gnomes may have animated or otherwise attacked her, though since this all happens offscreen, that is unclear. In fact the whole plot is unclear. Not one of Campbell’s better efforts. If the story had been clearly about evil animated garden gnomes, I could have lived with that, as potentially silly as that might have been, but the ambiguity does not improve the story.

The Beautiful Thing That Awaits Us All, by Laird Barron (Night Shade Books, 2014)

“Hand of Glory”

Likely the longest work included in the collection (comes in at about fifty pages so it’s probably more of a novella than a short story). Some interesting connections here with some of Barron’s other stories that I caught, including the hotel in “The Broadsword,” the Ransom Hollow area from “Blackwood’s Baby,” and even a quick reference to the Redfield area in which “The Redfield Girls” takes place. Set in the 1910s and 1920s, this is the story of a legbreaker for a crimelord in the Pacific Northwest. Johnny Cope is the son of a renowned mob enforcer who followed his father’s footsteps. After his father dies, Johnny also faces an attempted assassination, and traces the likely perpetrator to Barron’s Ransom Hollow region. There, Johnny finds that all the local crooks are deeply interested in the occult, and may be actual black magic practitioners. There are, predictably, some double crosses and violent confrontations along the way; this is actually a really nice example of how a typical hardboiled story can be paired effectively with the occult. The title turns out to be a bit too on the nose, but this was a fun one. I wouldn’t be surprised if Barron returns to the character of Johnny Cope in later writing.

“A Man Called West” by Ron Shiflet and Glynn Owen Barrass

Very pulpy, with lots of two-fisted action and gun battles. By now, Herbert West seems to have perfected his reagent and when he needs more he simply draws it from his own veins. He’s also apparently made some enemies along the way and is hiding out in a rented beach cottage along with a thuggish ex-con who he’s hired as a bodyguard who doesn’t have a clue what West is really up to. Here, the main antagonist is a vet (of WWI) seeking revenge against West for reanimating his dead wife. Good stuff, though nothing even remotely deep here. It doesn’t tread new ground, but it does show that HPL’s pulpiest character (Herbert West) fits in very nicely with the genre.

A Mountain Walked: Great Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos, edited by S.T. Joshi (Dark Regions Press, 2015)

“Virgin’s Island” by Donald Tyson

Told via a cache of recovered documents, a narrative framework that I always love. In 1935, two men, Jeremy (an Anglican minister) and Clyde (a celebrated rock climber) become trapped on a remote island off the cost of Nova Scotia. They ventured onto the island because of a mysterious carving (or natural rock formation) of an apparent Madonna holding a child on the island’s high cliffs that has never been properly investigated. The island itself is foreboding, isolated, and difficult to access because of the tall cliffs. They find a deep hole in the center of the island, which Clyde rappels down into and then promptly disappears. Jeremy, a novice climber at best, is forced to follow his friend in case he has become injured or trapped down below. I refuse to ruin the story for you in case you haven’t read it yet; I will only say that Jeremy discovers a subterranean, alien city there, along with what is left of Clyde. His discovery is truly horrifying. Gosh this was a good story. This is how to write a modern Lovecraftian Mythos tale.

Week 117 – Weekly Horror Short Story Reviews: Campbell, Barron, Byers, and Pulver

Welcome to Week 117 of my horror short fiction review project! For me, the best of this week’s stories was clear: “The Redfield Girls” by Laird Barron. Very melancholic, but as with almost everything by Laird, it’s extremely well done.

Demons by Daylight, by Ramsey Campbell (Carroll & Graf, 1990)

“The Enchanted Fruit”

What an inchoate mess! Derek is dating Janice. At some point he ventures into the woods and finds a strange fruit there, which he eats. It gives him an upset stomach. Some boring, mundane life events transpire. Literally nothing of interest here. Move on and skip this one.

The Beautiful Thing That Awaits Us All, by Laird Barron (Night Shade Books, 2014)

“The Redfield Girls”

Distinctly melancholic but good for all that. Four middle-aged school teachers and one of the teacher’s high-school-aged niece take a summer trip to stay at a cabin at a lake with a reputation for having strange hauntings and disappearances over the years (I assume cabin rentals must be dirt cheap at this lake). Three years later, two of the teachers and the niece get into a car crash at the lake and their vehicle ends up in the lake; all three women die there tragically, and a few sad and even inexplicable events occur that hint at the supernatural after their deaths. There’s no particular resolution to the story, as with most tragedies in life, it’s simply a tragedy for those involved and life eventually moves on. Wonderful writing on Barron’s part.

Legacy of the Reanimator, edited by Peter Rawlik and Brian M. Sammons (Chaosium, 2015)

[previously reviewed] “Herbert West—Reanimator” by H.P. Lovecraft

“The Horror on the Freighter” by Richard Lee Byers

The mad scientist Herbert West and his physician assistant, Daniel Cain, have been pursuing exotic ingredients for West’s reagent, which has the ability (theoretically) to return a semblance of life to the dead. Their hunt takes them to the docks and on board a freighter returning from the Orient. While they do get to see a small dinosaur that has been captured on Skull Island(!), the whole thing was a set-up by Fu Manchu(!!) who wants to meet West. Fu Manchu fears that West is on the verge of reliably returning life to the dead via his research and he absolutely doesn’t want the West to have that ability (keep in mind that Fu Manchu is always focused on destroying the West and raising up China). He uses his mind control abilities/mesmerism to force West and Cain to always seek the most demented, hideous uses for West’s reagent rather than bringing immortality to mankind. Sadly, we see that Fu Manchu’s mental mandate has worked all too well in later Herbert West stories. This one is probably of greatest interest to pulp aficionados who have read the Fu Manchu stories, but it is definitely a fun one in its own right.

A Mountain Walked: Great Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos, edited by S.T. Joshi (Dark Regions Press, 2015)

“…Hungry…Rats” by Joseph S. Pulver, Sr.

Not a bad story, and tied in nicely with HPL’s “The Rats in the Walls,” which I love, though Pulver has written better stories than this. Our protagonist here is a Vietnam War vet who grew up very poor and was tormented by rats in the Baltimore tenement he lived in growing up. While in Vietnam, he saved the life of a British journalist, who, after the war, tells him that he bears an uncanny resemblance to an infamous British nobleman, the Baron de La Poer (later changed to Delapore). If you’ve read Lovecraft, this name should be ringing bells for you. Long after the war, the vet makes his fortune, becomes fascinated by the old family’s history, and rebuilds Exham Priory. Eventually, things sour, and the vet kills his girlfriend and friend in a fit of insanity. He drags their corpses down into the basement and prepares to fight off the rats to protect his prizes as he once had to do with a dead Viet Cong soldier when he was trapped underground in a tunnel collapse during the war. Insanity, cannibalism, and the curse of the Delapore family strikes again. Not bad at all.

Book Review: Stranger Still by Michaelbrent Collings

Stranger Still is a stand-alone sequel to Michaelbrent Collings’ horror thriller Strangers, which I reviewed way back in 2013. I enjoyed Strangers a lot, so was very pleasantly surprised to find that after this long hiatus, Collings had returned to that world. In Stranger Still, he takes the villain from Strangers, a serial killer who calls himself Legion, and puts him in conflict with a second serial killer/hitman/torturer who has abducted a female attorney and her fiancé on behalf of a Russian mobster. This takes the characters on a fast-paced collision course with lots of violence along the way.

Let me give you a rundown on the major characters and the situation in which they find themselves. First, let me just say that aside from one of the characters in Stranger Still—the killer Legion—there are no real connections to the first novel in the series, so feel free to read this one even if you haven’t yet read Strangers. Legion is the sole surviving triplet of a set of boys who were very badly abused by their father and grew up to be serial killers. Not to worry, though; in Legion’s mind, his brothers are very much still with him. You’re going to spend a lot of time inside Legion’s head in this novel, and I found that fascinating. Next, we have Sheldon Steward—not Stewar*t*; don’t mess that up, or Sheldon will become very upset with you—who is a kind of homage to Bret Easton Ellis’ iconic serial killer Patrick Bateman in American Psycho, updated for the age of social media and influencers. Needless to say, having a narcissistic hitman serial killer with a bad case of the Dunning–Kruger effect who has modeled his life after what people like Kim Kardashian and Tom Cruise have advised their fans, is both horrifying and hilarious, offering some much-needed humor to leaven an extremely dark story. Then we have Danielle Smith, a young criminal defense attorney who, along with her fiancé Alex Anton, has been abducted by Sheldon and delivered to Marcos, a Russian mobster who has set up a drug factory-fortress for reasons that are initially unclear. Danielle is the only really sympathetic character here, as we soon learn that her fiancé Alex has a very, very dark past of his own. Danielle has got to quickly come to terms with that, then figure out how to survive with body, mind, and soul intact.

Novels like this hinge on characterization to be successful: either you find the killers and their victims interesting, in which case you love getting inside their heads, or you find them mundane or uninteresting, in which case the plot doesn’t matter because the characters and their travails don’t matter. Fortunately Collings excels at building good characters—and by “good characters” I mean unspeakably awful but deeply interesting ones. That’s good because the reader spends a lot of time inside the heads of the two dueling killers, Legion and Sheldon, as well as Danielle, the only really good person in the story. We also get backstories galore, especially for Legion (which is important, because he was the antagonist of Strangers and readers of that book will certainly want to know how he ended up hunting, torturing, and killing his victims), Danielle, and her fiancé Alex, who is far more than he seems, much to Danielle’s regret.

Action and pacing are tight. There’s a genuine sense of menace and suspense throughout; this is a book that genuinely is hard to put down. If you like serial killers as antagonists in your horror thrillers, you’ll want to check this one out. Stranger Still has got some genuinely original killers here, and you get to plumb the depths of what these sickos are all about. This isn’t a run-of-the-mill police procedural as many of the novels in this sub-genre tend to be though, with a valiant but flawed FBI profiler chasing a killer—this is the story about what happens when an ordinary person gets caught in the middle of four insane killers who aren’t going to stop until there’s only one left. Not for the faint of heart but definitely recommended. If you like the work of authors like J.A. Konrath, you’re going to like this one.

This review originally appeared in Hellnotes.

Week 116 – Weekly Horror Short Story Reviews: Campbell, Barron, Tanzer, and Pugmire

Welcome to Week 116 of my horror short fiction review project! An unusually strong array of stories this week–I recommend them all. Choosing a favorite is actually pretty difficult here, so I think I’m going to award a rare tie to “Concussion” by Ramsey Campbell and “Blackwood’s Baby” by Laird Barron. Both very different kinds of stories, but you owe it to yourself to read both.

Demons by Daylight, by Ramsey Campbell (Carroll & Graf, 1990)

“Concussion”

Long but fascinating story. Starts off with an old man in what seems to be a mildly dystopian future who is probably a solipsist—he seems to believe that (1) he is dying and when he dies the rest of the world will as well, and (2) the people and things he encounters aren’t real, or at least not real in the same way that he is. The tale itself is about his whirlwind romance with a woman named Anne, who he met when they were college students. After they met and parted, he wrote to Anne and then tried to visit her home, but found that her street didn’t even exist (or had not yet been built, to be more precise). He later encounters her on a bus, causing an accident that led to her being hospitalized. While I would be hard-pressed to say exactly what is going on here, my leading theory is that the protagonist is caught in some kind of time loop. I liked this one enough that I plan to re-read it in the future to see if I can tease out deeper meanings of what Campbell was trying to do here.

The Beautiful Thing That Awaits Us All, by Laird Barron (Night Shade Books, 2014)

“Blackwood’s Baby”

Set in the 1920s or 1930s in a wild, rural area of Washington state called Ransom Hollow. Luke Honey is a renowned big game hunter living in Africa at the outset of the story and an archetypal “man with a past” who has been invited to participate in an exclusive annual hunting expedition. A group of experienced hunters and very wealthy men is assembled to hunt a semi-mythical huge buck called “Blackwood’s Baby.” As the men go deeper in poorly explored territory, they learn that this annual hunt has never been successful but always ends in serious injuries or deaths for the hunters. Sure enough, this year is no exception, and a brief, chance encounter with the buck suggests that this monstrous creature may be much more than a simple deer. They also discover that the locals have likely been making human sacrifices to appease ancient, dark gods here for a very long time. This is a dark story filled with beautiful, rich character studies. Barron is one of those authors who can sketch out a character’s entire history and personality with a couple well-chosen sentences and that skill is in evidence here. Gorgeous writing as always from Barron.

Legacy of the Reanimator, edited by Peter Rawlik and Brian M. Sammons (Chaosium, 2015)

“Herbert West in Love” by Molly Tanzer

Subversive to be sure, but I’m not sure that the story really works well—it seems like one of those stories where there’s an important plot point added purely to scandalize. Herbert West, a theology student named Tristan Langbroek, and a bully named Reginald Gurganus are all taking a medical ethics course at good ol’ Miskatonic University. West is threatened with expulsion after getting into a disagreement with a professor, and Gurganus teases West and Langbroek about being gay lovers, which they are, but Gurganus doesn’t know that. West ends up getting into a confrontation with his professor that leads to the professor’s death; West predictably tries to reanimate him, along with Tristan, who also dies in the course of the story. The inclusion of the gay love story elements was an odd choice that I’m just not sure worked.

A Mountain Walked: Great Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos, edited by S.T. Joshi (Dark Regions Press, 2015)

“The Phantom of Beguilement” by W.H. Pugmire

This story perfectly capture’s Wilum H. Pugmire’s art: it is a portrait of the mystery, wonder, and underlying darkness of HPL’s Kingport setting. Here we have a young poet, Katherine, who has been staying in Kingsport while working on her poetry. She purchases a painting by a portrait artist who long ago disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Katherine has also befriended a local derelict, who knew the missing artist and who also sleeps on the porch of the Terrible Old Man’s house (the character from HPL’s eponymous story who has long since died or disappeared himself). Eventually, of course, Katherine’s fascination with the painting draws her into the artist’s world. Wonderful ambiance.
