CTHULHU 2012

I was very pleased to learn that my story "Annexation" will be appearing in David Wynn's Cthulhu 2012 anthology, due out from Mythos Books next year.

Although the book's Table of Contents cannot be revealed at this juncture, believe me when I say it is formidable. All the stories explore, in a variety of ways, both Lovecraftian themes and/or motifs along with the rich Mayan mythology associated with the year 2012.

Several years ago I experienced a vivid dream involving Mesoamerican settings and iconography. After several false starts at short stories, I concluded that these images would remain as a dream journal entry.

Once I dovetailed these images with some touches of Lovecraftian horror, however, "Annexation" was born.
