I enjoyed writing for Chaosium a couple of years ago, and I ALWAYS enjoy writing for editor/publisher William Jones. Lois Gresh is a great writer writing for both that you should check out immediately!
Book Description:
26 Weird Science Fiction, Dark Fantasy, and Horror Stories
ELDRITCH EVOLUTIONS is the first collection of short stories by Lois H. Gresh, one of the most talented writers working these days in the realms of imagination.
These tales of weird fiction blend elements wrung from science fiction, dark fantasy, and horror. Some stories are bent toward bizarre science, others are Lovecratian Mythos tales, and yet others are just twisted. They all share an underlying darkness, pushing Lovecraftian science and themes in new directions. While H.P. Lovecraft incorporated the astronomy and physics ideas of his day (eg, cosmos-within-cosmos and other dimensions), these stories speculate about modern science: quantum optics, particle physics, chaos theory, string theory, and so forth. Full of unique ideas, bizarre plot twists, and fascinating characters, these tales show a feel for pacing and structure, and a wild sense of humor. They always surprise and delight.

Book Buzz:
"Everything you want in horror fiction." -Scott Edelman, Five-time Nominee for the Bram Stoker Award, Editor of Syfy's Blastr

"Intensely memorable stories...shocking, funny, disturbing. A uniquely gifted writer whose work I have admired for many years." -Charles Platt, former editor at Avon books & senior writer at Wired

"Lois Gresh is a terrific writer and this collection is a terrific book for anyone who wants to read the best in science fiction, dark fantasy, dark humor, and horror." -Robert Weinberg, Winner of Lifetime Achievement Award, HWA
"An extravagant gift...devastating genius...and oh, that story, "Debutante Ball" in a perfect literary landscape it would now be as well-remembered as Shirley Jackson's 'The Lottery'." -Adam-Troy Castro, SCI FI, official magazine of the SYFY TV channel
"Riveting stories with mind-bending ideas intensely creative!" -Catherine Asaro, Nebula-Award winning author of The Ruby Dice
