Goblins & Ghouls – Ghouls Amongst Us, Book II
Beware! A new monster series, GHOULS AMONGST US, is unleashed! We've dug up fourteen tales of these horrific creatures. Lurking in the Underworld, hidden from human eyes, they come up from the depths to feed on human flesh! They breed in the dark; the goblins, the ogres, and the ghouls. Hidden for thousands of years, at last their adventures can be told.
Stories include the tale of Gul. Born of the first litter of goblins, he is rejected by the Fair Folk and hunted by early men. But he will find haven in an unknown world. Generations later, General Borgol happily leads his men on a campaign of abduction and rape—until he learns of the secret agenda behind his orders. The brutish Krokol finds himself the plodding attendant of the undead Lord of Fear. And his only salvation is the enchanting godchild of Charlemagne. Ghob will stop at nothing to be king of the ogres—even making deals with forbidden gods and the living dead. And amongst the ghoulish inhabitants of the catacombs of Paris are a certain bell-ringer and an opera ghost.
About Perry Lake (Butte County, California Author)
Perry Lake lives in Northern California. FATE Magazine, the Overstreet Monthly, Fantasy Theater, Orion’s Child, Tales of Fantasy, and the prestigious Journal of Dracula Studies, amongst other local and international publications, have presented both his fiction and non-fiction work.
Mr. Lake is a lifelong devotee of world history, geography, and true tales of horror. Inspired by the works of Bram Stoker, Sheridan LeFanu, Mary Shelley, HP Lovecraft, and countless other masters of supernatural horror, Mr. Lake brings considerable experience and authenticity to his tales of the outré and weird stuff.
“There’s been an amazing revival of interest in recent years in the classics of horror," Lake says, "New motion pictures, television shows, and sequels have appeared about Dracula, the Monster of Frankenstein, and other famous monsters. While some of these have merit, many of these pastiches trash the original material.
“I try to take these classic characters and go in new and exciting directions, but still respecting and preserving the original. When you read these books, I think you will agree.”
