Mike Chinn takes us on a tour de force... A ring of external spotlights flared to life, revealing the floor of the Mariana Trench a few metres below us. The backwash filled the observation room with a cold grey light... As one, they gasped at the sight. I didn't blame them - even though I'd seen it dozens of times, it still caught the back of my throat. Donnie could feel himself beginning to shake. He clenched his fists, fighting the tremors. For a moment, he back-flashed to October last year: River Phoenix, on a Hollywood sidewalk, dying. No resurrection from the flames that time: no one was reviving dead movie stars. The storm bounced the Oji-Maru across the ocean like a toy boat. Sky and sea were black; the only light came from the ship's navigation lamps. Ishimaeru could barely make out the bows and harpoon gun. From somewhere he heard the sound of shattering glass. It reared out of the dark, vast and ... and wrong. Nothing but bones... And more ... eighteen stories that range from the depths of the Pacific, the cruel charms of Venice, the price of immortality, to the Appalachian Mountains...

Autorenporträt
Mike Chinn lives in Birmingham UK with his wife Caroline and their guinea pigs. The first collection of the 1930s set adventures of his occult investigator Damian Paladin, THE PALADIN MANDATES (The Alchemy Press, 1998), was short-listed for the British Fantasy Award in 1999; and a second Paladin collection, WALKERS IN SHADOW, was published by Pro Se Productions in 2017. A revised and expanded (by 10,000 words) edition of PALADIN MANDATES was published by Pro Se in 2020. In the second issue of OCCULT DETECTIVE QUARTERLY "The Black Tarot" teamed Paladin and Leigh Oswin with the eponymous investigator; and the newest additions to this expanding pulpy universe are the submarine USS Oswin and crew: first sailing in the Damian Paladin story "Cradle of the Deep" (issue one of the reborn STARTLING STORIES magazine), then striking out alone in "Echoes of Days Passed" (THE ALCHEMY PRESS BOOK OF HORRORS 3: A MISCELLANY OF MONSTERS). Both stories, plus a previously unpublished novella, were collected in DRAWING DOWN LEVIATHAN in 2024
