"Among the Dark Places of the Earth charts a bold new path in the world of Lovecraftian Cosmic Horror. I'm looking forward to much more from Mr. Toro San Martin!" - William Holloway, author of Blackwood Estates Journey to worlds both eerie and strange, to times long in the past and to futures yet to be in this debut collection of nineteen short stories and five poems by Julio Toro San Martin. In its pages you'll learn of an outer god who found a novel way to enter our world, encounters with cosmic horrors in ancient Rome, an airplane ride gone deadly wrong, grim-faced barbarians battling otherworldly enemies, and a mysterious being who wants to invade the earth using the internet. These stories told in the genres of contemporary horror, dark fantasy, sword and sorcery, and sci-fi are sure to chill, excite and terrify. Here nothing is assured and victory a fleeting promise, if possible at all.
