Combinando a sensibilidade gótica do século XIX de Edgar Allan Poe com uma visão interna ousada, os contos de Lovecraft prenunciam um século psiquicamente conturbado. Situado em uma paisagem da Nova Inglaterra descrita de modo minucioso e historicamente fundamentada, suas histórias angustiantes exploram o colapso da sanidade sob o peso dos eventos caóticos. O universo de Lovecraft é um mundo de sombras onde a realidade e o pesadelo se entrelaçam e a redenção ninguém sabe de onde vem.

In the deepest, darkest depths of space, the stars are cold, malevolent eyes looking across a vast graveyard of the unknown, the unnameable, and the undead.

Steve Capone, Jr. shares three of his previously unpublished works from the last half decade or so. They are a bit odd. Wonder what it might have been like to see Jesus push a kid off a roof? Why an upstanding young woman might be breaking into a thrift shop after hours? Or what a man earning his million-miler recognition might have sacrificed to earn such high esteem? Three shorts answer these questions, at least in the mind of their author.
