Twelve strange, eerie, sensual stories by a bold new voice in weird fiction. Capricious gods rule a world of women. Zombies breed human cattle. The son of a superhero must decide between his heritage and his religion. Young lovers worship a primordial spider god. The apocalyptic rebirth of the god of the elephants. Monstrous chimeras roam through a devastated future Earth. A retired fisherman caught in the middle of a conflict between gods and superheroes. Teenagers struggle to survive a show more surreal ice age.

Although the stories in the collection demonstrate a breadth of topics, from end of the world stories like the ice-encrusted earth in “This is the Ice Age” to the comic book pastiche of “Spiderkid,” nearly all of the stories have a stylistic similarity which shows the influence on Lalumière of the Weird-school of writing created by H.P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, Seabury Quinn, show more and other authors writing for Farnsworth Wright in the 1920s and 30s. show less
