![]() Yes, most of the stories are of cosmic horror and unpleasant demises, but there’s also humor to be found in Wetmore’s “Notebook Concerning the Class Struggle in Dunwich, Found in the Ruins of a Construction Site” and Walker’s “Baby Rhyme Time: Youngsters Enjoy Initiation at Innsmouth Public Library.” Fortunately, most of the other titles are also shorter. ![]() Her preference, based on the majority of the 25 tales in this book, leans toward an excruciatingly slow buildup towards an ending that was unimagined and unpreventable – tales like “The Dreadful Machine” by Martin James Hunter where the narrator’s nonchalance in the face of unspeakable evil is the real horror. In fact, one of the stories in the anthology, “Kickstarter” by Richard Lee Byers, is a parody of the perpetual namedropping in Lovecraft’s fan circles.Įditor Kat Rocha takes the shotgun approach in Whispers from the Abyss 2. Humorous tales are not exactly the Lovecraftian wheelhouse, and there is the constant risk of a plot being buried in an avalanche of tropes. A book grimly embracing cosmic nihilism and mankind’s utter insignificance gets ponderous after you destroy the world in story after story. Compiling an anthology of Lovecraft-inspired fiction is always a slippery slope. ![]()

To interpret the second usage of elohim (the Hebrew translated as God and gods) as referring to other persons of the Trinity entails that God The Father is judging the Son and The Holy Spirit for corruption. Heiser rightly points out that Psalm 82 must be referring to angelic beings because all other interpretations have fatal flaws. Heiser’s proposal seems to be that the Jews viewed angels and demons as lesser “gods” (lowercase g) which were subservient to the supreme God Yahweh. In the first chapter, Heiser introduces us to “The Divine Council” worldview of The Bible, which is what he based his doctoral dissertation on. That is what this blog post is all about.
