In the story that first established the monstrous cosmic terrors of his Mythos, writer H. P. Lovecraft said, "We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity..." Which makes it all the more fitting that the adepts of Lovecraft's vision writing today would choose to unveil ever-evolving and terrible fears besetting those that live on the largest island on the planet, and force the protagonists of some startling new horror fiction tales in this book to face, indeed, not placidity, but their own black seas of infinity...and madness. Again, some of the greatest scribes of the weird and startling from the land down under bring you brand new stories in the Lovecraftian genre, taking you from the realms of contemporary Australian cities to the blood-soaked, post-colonial past (touching the powerful original cultures of the land), and even hinting at the disturbing future of Terra Australis. You will fear a sunburnt country. Tales of terror by Alan Baxter, David Conyers, Julie Ditrich, Jason Fischer, Steve Kilbey, Steven Paulsen, Steve Proposch, Alf Simpson, Cat Sparks, Maurice Xanthos. Introduction by Cat Rambo and Afterword by Jack Dann.

They are superhuman champions: hyper-charged, meta-guardians of humanity; protecting the innocent from the corrupt, saving us from the sadistic; shielding us from human or inhuman evil in all its forms. But, what if the gleaming smile from the chiseled jaw was actually the animalistic baring of teeth? What if THEY were the nightmare threat? They are not superheroes, but superhorrors! This dark potential is revealed as we present tales of shock and the macabre from a roster that includes some of the greatest creative minds from the realms of fantasy, science fiction, horror, and comic-books. What sort of dark and chilling fates arise when those with powers far beyond mere mortals are the central figures not in tales of triumph, but of terror? Welcome to Caped Fear. Short horror fiction by some of the world's best writers: Barry N. Malzberg & Jack Dann, Colleen Doran, Jim Krueger, Robert Bloch, Karen Haber, Robert Silverberg, George R. R. Martin, Jim Starlin, Howard Keltner, Jonathan Maberry, Neil Gaiman & Roz Kaveney, Heather Graham, Ramsey Campbell, Janeen Webb, William F. Nolan, Brian Lumley, and Joe R. Lansdale.

In tribute to H. P. Lovecraft, this book is an assortment of the finest Australian dark fiction, bringing you a second volume of Lovecraftian stories of wonder and dread. Featured are new tales by Silvia Brown, Robert Hood, Kirstyn McDermott, and Lee Murray. The collection takes readers back below the equator, into the bizarre and headlong towards horror. From mist-shrouded peaks and canyons of Melanesian islands, through rainforests and scorching deserts of the island continent of Terra Australis, and across the Tasman Sea to the inhospitable hinterlands of New Zealand.
