Produktbeschreibung

THERE GOES THE NEIGHBORHOOD

The housing market is depressed. But not as depressed as anyone who spends a night at 668 Langford Place. The decaying mansion next doornumber 666will soon see the return of Bog-Muggoth, an ancient, evil demon that makes the Amityville Horror seem like Casper the Friendly Ghost.

But Bog-Muggoth isn't making his haunted house call alone. Other vile gods from beyond time and space will be joining in the festivities to make the world their oysterand leave it an empty shell.

Only one man can keep the Older Deities from dieting on the human race...

KENT MONTANA

He's the descendant of Scottish nobility or so he claims. He's an out-of-work actor. He never gets a good script...but his life is more exciting than any science fiction movie. In fact, his life is a science fiction movie.

(previously published as written by Lionel Fenn)

Autorenporträt

Charles L. Grant (1942-2006) won a World Fantasy Award for his novella collection Nightmare Seasons, a Nebula Award in 1976 for his short story "A Crowd of Shadows", and another Nebula Award in 1978 for his novella "A Glow of Candles, a Unicorn's Eye," the latter telling of an actor's dilemma in a post-literate future. Grant also edited the award-winning Shadows anthology, running eleven volumes from 1978-1991. Contributors include Stephen King, Ramsey Campbell, Al Sarrantonio, R.A. Lafferty, Avram Davidson, and Steve Rasnic and Melanie Tem. Grant was a former Executive Secretary and Eastern Regional Director of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America and president of the Horror Writers Association. His story "Temperature Days on Hawthorne Street" was adapted into an episode of Tales from the Darkside entitled "The Milkman Cometh" in 1987.

He also served eight years as an officer of the Science Fiction Writers of America, served ten years on the Board of Directors of the World Fantasy Awards, is past-president of the Horror Writers of America, served five years as President of the Board of Trustees of HWA, and is on the board of advisors for The Burry Man's Writers Center.

In 1987 he received the British Fantasy Society's Special Award, for life achievement. In May of 2000, he received the Lifetime Achievement Award from HWA. In addition, he has received two Nebula Awards and three World Fantasy Awards for his writing and editing. He is sorely missed.
