King Of Cat Swamp
A couple unwisely let a wanderer into their home. Mediocre.
Dead Media
At Miskatonic liberal arts college, two entitled millennials stumble on a mysterious recording. They’re true believers and set out to find the truth of it, but what they encounter is not what they expected. Excellent.
Best Lines:
“Did these things, if they were any, even have throats?”
“Riding storms older than human civilization.”
The Abject
Four people go hiking, it leads to a death. Okay.
Dahlias
A short tale of death and cosmic indifference. Okay.
Bloom
A couple find a thing in a cooler by the side of the road. Does it have any connection to theories about a dwarf planet? This is good and creepy.
Best Line:
“The prospect of touching it had struck her as less than a good idea.”
And The Sea Gave Up The Dead
A journal of a sea voyage in 1774. Okay.
Casting Call
An audition for ‘Night Gallery’ goes awry as a wannabe ghoul takes method acting too far. Mediocre.
The Clockwork King, the Queen Of Glass, and the Man With The Hundred Knives
A man narrates his tale of an ill-advised friendship and a hole in the world. Good.
The Other Man
A man’s life is taken by a doppelganger. Dull.
Waiting At The Crossroads Motel
A man who isn’t entirely human waits at a seedy motel. Okay.
The Wilcox Remainder
A man steals a figurine and is haunted. Okay.
Correlated Discontents
Lovecraft is revived via AI, naturally it goes awry. Mediocre.
The Skinless Face
Archaeologists dig up a statue and go mad. Unsettling.
Best Line:
“No culture recognised by science.”
The History Of A Letter
A footnoted letter suggests at oddness. Okay.
Appointed
A sad and seedy con is held and something is lurking. Very good.
Best Line:
“She sold issues of Playboy with her photo spread (and spread it was) for thirty dollars."
