“Fans of Barbara Cottrell’s The Shadows of Miskatonic mysteries will be salivating at this latest action-packed instalment of her acclaimed cosmic horror series, but new readers needn’t be discouraged since Shadow Zone is the perfect standalone. In it, kick-ass heroine Ellen Logan confronts a bevy of otherworldly monsters, scathing university administrators, and former lovers, daring to cross time and realms in a cracking eldritch adventure to curl your toes. Enigmatic, imaginative, and thoroughly entertaining, Shadow Zone is a worthy addition to Lovecraftian literature. Highly recommended.”
—Lee Murray, five-time Bram Stoker Award®-winning author of Grotesque: Monster Stories
“Cottrell drags the Cthulhu Mythos kicking and screaming into the Twenty-First century, eschewing genre tropes for a strong female lead with a fondness for witty dialogue laced with pop culture references that make Lovecraftian fiction fresh and accessible, but still firmly rooted in the core tales.”
-Peter Rawlik, author of Reanimators
“A neo-classic take on the mythos.”
-Michael Arnzen, Bram Stoker Award Winning author of Grave Markings and Proverbs for Monsters.
So happy to be back in the land of The Shadows of Miskatonic with the third book in this series by Barbara Cottrell.
The characters and setting are so familiar to me from the first two books in the series that I was quickly drawn back in to Ellen’s adventures.
I didn’t want the book to end.
-Mary Hart, author of Some Horrific Evening
