54pp. Ann K. Schwader has constructed a haunting sonnet sequence that twists both horror and science fiction within the phantasmagorical background of the Cthulhu Mythos. Inspired by the famous Fungi From Yuggoth sonnet cycle of H.P. Lovecraft, the narrative tales us from discovery, alienation, futility, to the ultimate fate of our universe. Steve Lines has provided the cover and a series of excellent interior illustrations that add to the atmosphere of verbal imagery. The introduction is by noted author and poet Richard L. Tierney.

Taking inspiration from H.P. Lovecraft's 1930s verse epic Fungi from Yuggoth, Schwader (Strange Stars & Alien Shadows) serves up a 36-sonnet cycle that gives its eldritch horror theme a space-age slant. When members of a manned expedition to Mars stumble upon a cave of mysterious living crystals, they fall under the malignant influence of alien beings who transport them through a "Gate Between the Stars" to a world of horrifying extraterrestrial monsters and life forms that defy human comprehension. Schwader describes this nightmare realm in vivid images that are captured eerily in moody black-and-white illustrations provided by Steve Lines. She also conveys a sense of cosmic awe and terror that speaks to her Lovecraftian influences and shows with poetic precision the dark side of science fiction.
