Horrors & Heresies - Robert M. Price - Bog

Horrors and Heresies is the second fiction collection by Mythos Mogul Robert M. Price. "The Savage Sword of Jehu" and "The Son of Jehovah versus the Cyclops" appear in print for the first time here. "The Parchment Chase" is a Lovecraftian version of the TV show The Paper Chase, set in the Miskatonic Divinity School. All the stories have some sort of religious connection, mostly of a pretty darn unorthodox character. Price's extensive religious studies background enables him to create authentic-sounding heresies and blasphemies. Here you will find forbidden texts from imaginary scriptures, twisted versions of classic biblical stories from both Old and New Testaments, a "hidden" episode from Lovecraft's The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, and an adventure of the late, great Christopher Hitchens modeled upon "The Call of Cthulhu." Is it blatant Political Incorrectness you want? You'll find plenty in "The Caliphate of Cthulhu." A couple of these stories first appeared in Secular Humanist mags including American Rationalist (did you know S.T. Joshi was AR's final editor?) and Free Inquiry, not usually the homes of weird fiction. Still another appeared in the late, lamented evangelical humor magazine, The Wittenburg Door.
