Our heroes and heroines are members of ethnic and religious minorities, immigrants, independent free thinking women, those with special needs, and members of the LGBT community. This collection features people struggling to overcome not only the horrors beyond mankind's understanding, but an oppressive society seeking to deny them basic human rights.… (más)
This is a horror anthology I backed on Kickstarter a while ago. The general premise was to do a Lovecraftian anthology where the protagonists weren't all WASP male types that Lovecraft himself used. It's got protagonists who are female, transgendered, African American, Jewish, gay, autistic, Hispanic, Asian, Italian, and Russian. It's actually a very good collection. I really only had problems with Mercedes M. Yardley's story "Ivan and the Hurting Doll," and my problem with that isn't about the quality of the story, it's that it's really more of a dark fantasy and feels a bit out of place among the Lovecraftian horror stories.
