Short Story Saturday: Dreaming in Darkness launching at World Horror Con

Dreaming in Darkness, a collection of four Cthulhu-inspired novellas, is launching at World Horror Con next week* in New Orleans, in the good ol' U S of A.

My contribution is entitled The Serpent's Egg. In case you're heading along to WHC yourself, and fancy picking up a limited edition hard cover copy of the book, or you're considering ordering it when it becomes available over here in the UK, then I present for you now, for your edification, the opening to my dark tale...

* As it happens, one of the guests of honour is friend of this blog and Blood of the Zombies cover artist Greg Staples.
