Their subject, however, is anything but human . . . THEY ARE NOT NATURAL. Deep beneath the ice, the submerged ruins of a lost civilization hold the key to the strange mutations that each scientist has encountered across the globe: A misshapen skull in Russia.

Submerged
by Thomas F. Monteleone&“An epic thriller about a secret Nazi submarine and its mission . . . a tasty combination of Ken Follett and Clive Cussler&” from the award-winning author (The Novel Pursuit). Cruising from the sub pens of Trondheim under the cover of darkness—undetected by the sonar scans of Allied enemies—Kapitaenleutnant Erich Heinz Bruckner leads the experimental submarine U-5001 in a last-ditch effort for Nazi victory. But their sinister 1945 voyage ends mysteriously: Bruckner and his crew vanish, along with their classified weapon of mass destruction. Seventy years later, ex-Navy diver Dexter Bucklin stumbles upon an unknown vessel in the depths of the Chesapeake Bay and is consumed with the need to discover its original, terrifying mission—inadvertently alerting a worldwide cabal that knows all about the U-5001 . . . and the keys it holds to even greater secrets. A thriller in the tradition of Ken Follett and Robert Ludlum, Submerged follows both Bruckner and Bucklin in a narrative that spans generations of adventure and horror—Lovecraftian tales at their most strange. As these men&’s lives converge, a third element surfaces, influencing the Kapitaenleutnant and the ex-Navy diver to make increasingly desperate decisions, ones that will shape the future of civilization. Thomas F. Monteleone expertly blends history, fact, and fiction with a subtle dose of the supernatural in this Lovecraftian page-turner. Praise for Thomas F.

Paul Wilson, author of The Keep and Deep as the Marrow &“A vastly entertaining novel of horror and suspense [that poses] difficult questions about the nature of man, God and the devil.&” —Los Angeles Daily News

Sueños oscuros y cuentos extraños
by Terry M. WestBaker no fue completamente honesto con respecto al viaje. Si bien había una Lucy Peak, y era un hecho que era dueña de una taberna. También, lo era que solicito que Baer fuese, pero sabia que la taberna no estaba embrujada. Y él se encontraba segur de que Lucy lo sabía. Ella se encontraba enamorada de él, y su solicitud era realmente un intento de un romance lejano. Él no aceptaría la invitación, ni usaría a Lucy como una excusa para volver a Providencia, pero su estado de ánimo había cambiado desde su encuentro con H.P. Lovecraft. Baker se sentía obligado a regresar e investigar más sobre la historia de Lovecraft. No sabía donde empezar, pero deseaba poder hablar con la tía de Lovecraft, y obtener acceso a las pertenencias del escritor. Con suerte la mujer tuvo tiempo suficiente para llorar. Baker había devorado todas las historias de Lovecraft que pudo encontrar, pero de seguro encontraría más entre las pertenencias del fallecido, y él necesitaba leerlos todos. Aunque el trabajo de Lovecraft estaba sobrecargado, el temor de Baker aumentaba con cada frase que invitaba su mente. No tenia la menor duda de que la energía oscura se encontraba trabajando. Y necesitaba llegar a la fuente de ese mal, y encontrar una forma de prevenir que se produjese la visión de Lovecraft en la que un cataclismo capaz de acabar con la Tierra ocurra. Y la prosa del hombre era el mejor lugar buscar. “Necesito usar el baño”, Dijo Baker, poniéndose de pie con dificultad. Sherman dejó su asiento y le dio paso a Baker. Baker camino torpemente por el pasillo del vehículo, sujetándose de los asientos, y marchando como un borracho lo hace a través de arena pesada y húmeda. Mientras se encontraba de pie, se le apeteció un viaje al vagón restaurante. Ya que un brandi lo ayudaría a calmar su estómago. De repente, el tren se sacudió. Como si la maquina entrase en pánico, Baer escucho la estresante sinfonía de las ruedas de m
