'Tenebrosian Tales' is a limited edition surreal anthology, featuring works from Steven C. Davis, Stu Tovell & Wulfenstaeg. Centre stafe is 'The Blood Stained Mask' novella from Stu Tovell, a deliciously decadent and noir work of twisted fiction that delights in breaking the fourth wall.
Forming the spine of the anthology is a tale told in four parts, comprisinng 'Out of this World' and its three preludes, 'Holidays in Eden', 'The Other Half' and 'This Strange Engine' from Steven C. Davis. Tne four part tale uses titles of Marillion's songs, but is not the only music reference in the book: there are four music reviews from Mr Stu. The anthology also features Steven's 'Some Kind of Stranger' tale, a folk-horror re-interpretation of the world he explores in the 'Less than Human' serial. There is also 'Rise of the Saelvatici, a tale from Wulfenstaeg (co-written with Steven) which is the beginning of a folk-horror interpretation of the Robin Hood myth cycle.
Oh, and there is also dino-art. Because everything is better with dino-art.
It's strange. It's odd. It's dark. It's Machiavellian and Moorcockian, with strange worlds bisecting other strange worlds, with record reviews jostling shoulders with noir, NSFW, fiction. To quote Hawkwind, 'if you wanna get into it, you've got to get out of it'.
