Lovecraft, and you just might get something like The Chaos Clock, an all-new anthology edited by Danielle Ackley-McPhail and published by eSpec Books! Fourteen stories and poems about the unknown forces ticking away the seconds of the cosmos. What happens when eldritch forces encounter the Age of Steam?
