Music maestro, Raffaele Pezzella has branched out into the literary field with an Eighth Tower Publication that pays homage to H.P. Lovecraft. Pezzella's curated offering is in fact, named after Robert E. Howard's famous, Cthulhu offshoot, and as such is called The Black Stone: Stories for Lovecraftian Summonings. (The 374-page extravaganza also stands as a companion piece to Pezzella's various-artists CD/download release, the Black Stone: Music for Lovecraftian Summonings. The CD/download caters to many of Lovecraft's original stories, concepts and inspirations. I will be reviewing the latter in the near future.)
A heap of superb authors have contributed to Pezzella's literary track: Ramsey Campbell; Brian M. Sammons; Glynn Owen Barrass; Lucy A. Snyder; E.A. Black; Chris Kelso; Andrew Coulthard; Stephen Mark Rainey; Kevin Lewis; Richard Alan Scott; Russell Smeaton; J. Edwin Buja; Made in DNA; David Agranoff; Pete Rawlik; Brian C. Short; John Chadwick; David Voyles; Konstantine Paradias; Love Kolle; Edward Morris; Parry Milton; Phil Breach; Garret Cook; Andrew Freudenberg; and Sarah Walker.
My story, "Tentacled", is also featured. It projects an Outer Limits vibe, because Outer Limits has traditionally projected a Lovecraftian vibe. (I believe that author/Lovecraft historian, Jason Colavito would more than concur with my comparison.)
The Black Stone: Stories for Lovecraftian Summoning is an amazing anthology that all Lovecraft connoisseurs will adore. To summon its otherworldly contents, one need only visit
