Strange Growth: 9 Weird Tales

The natural and the supernatural are closer than you think... Strange Growth is a collection of 9 original weird stories where ecology, antiquarianism, and occult mysteries entangle in fascinating, disturbing, and sometimes darkly comical ways. Alienated scholars stumble across new and anomalous rules of nature - very often, the rules of their own nature - and suffer the bizarre and terrifying consequences... From eldritch irregularities in the fossil record, to ancient wisdom lost in forbidden tomes; Strange Growth is an exploration of all the curious and terrible things that lurk in the depths of the cosmos, the ocean, the forest, the garden, the genome, and the unconsciousness. Approaching weird fiction from an ecological perspective, Strange Growth is a unique and eccentric anthology, perfect for fans of the ghost stories of M.R. James, the cosmic horror of H.P. Lovecraft, the occult fantasies of Arthur Machen, and the eco-horror of Algernon Blackwood. Not for the faint of heart, or indeed the faint of mind, this collection is certain to offer something rich and strange for all seekers after the outré and students of the (super)natural world.
