Die Rache by Steven Utley

I didn't like this story about the punishment of Hitler.

The City Quiet as Death by Steven Utley

Not really my kind of story, though it’s a kind that lots of people will appreciate. A maid carries around a locket containing, she says, a giant squid. Kind of dark fantasy of the Cthulhu variety. I’m not very Lovecraftian.

The city quiet as death [short fiction] by Steve Utley

Don Horacio, a rich, cultured, misanthropic, agoraphobe, lives in a grand house by the sea, looked after by a housekeeper who says she has a qiant squid in her locket. She may well have as he is visited by a padre and a doctor, the latter telling him of baby universes for sale. Things do not end well. Atmospheric but opaque.
