Gods and Monsters

In the tenth volume of the acclaimed Classic Monsters series, Gods and Monsters gathers eighteen dark tales inspired by the myths, legends, and ancient horrors that have haunted human imagination since the dawn of civilisation. From the labyrinths of Crete to the depths of the sea, from the gates of Heaven and Hell to the shadows of the modern world, these stories breathe terrifying new life into immortal beings and forgotten nightmares.

Walk beside Prometheus as he flees eternal punishment. Descend into darkness with hunters stalking the Minotaur. Face Medusa on the London Underground and Lamia in a cursed maternity ward. Witness the awakening of Tiamat beneath the ocean, the return of ancient mermaids, the horrors hidden within paradise itself, and the terrible price of bargaining with devils, angels, and gods.

Featuring stories by John Everson, Mark Towse, Theresa Jacobs, Benjamin Kurt Unsworth, Jeffrey Thomas, Axl Malton, Ian Gielen, William Meikle, Ryan Colley, Jack Graham, Thomas Smith, Ronald Kelly, C. W. Stevenson, Veronica Smith, Catriona Mowat, Caleb Jones, Andreas Hort, and Milan Kovačevic, Gods and Monsters presents epic fantasy, cosmic horror, dark fantasy, supernatural terror, and mythic tragedy in one unforgettable collection.

The gods are watching.

The monsters are waiting.

And sometimes they are one and the same.
