Shadow Zone

“Cottrell drags the Cthulhu Mythos kicking and screaming into the Twenty-First century…making Lovecraft fiction fresh and accessible.” —Peter Rawlik, author of Reanimators

A daring daylight robbery. A graveyard teeming with unnatural activity. A shadowy creature stalking the halls of an Arkham retirement home. Coincidence? Or the first signs of something far worse?

Ellen Logan and Andrew Carter reunite to investigate these unsettling events. Their path takes them down a twisted trail of forbidden art, impossible mathematics, and a house that defies physical space. Only then do they discover the terrifying scope of what’s unfolding. And if they don’t stop it in time, the boundary between nightmare and reality may vanish forever.

Barbara Cottrell gave up her career as a professor to pursue her true passion: writing weird fiction. She is a lifetime member of the Horror Writers Association. She enjoys presenting her work in unusual venues like Mystery Writers in the Mausoleum. She also served as a judge and an editor on the Redwood Writer Anthologies REDEMPTION: STORIES FROM THE EDGE, ENDEAVOR: STORIES OF STRUGGLE AND PERSEVERANCE, and REMEMBER WHEN. She lives in Sonoma County on a not at all haunted vineyard. When she isn't exploring the dark side, she makes wine with her husband, Lance. You can find her on-line at www.barbaracottrell.com.
