From Lovecraftian tales such as "The House of the Temple", "Rising With Surtsey", and the title story, to such contemporary horrors as "The Sun, the Sea, and the Silent Scream" and "The Luststone", this new collection has been culled from the writings of a true master of nightmares.

Gleefully mixing SF, fantasy, and horror, Screaming Science Fiction is a full-length collection of nine thrilling, chilling, spine-tingling stories by horror master Brian Lumley (Necroscope), including "No Way Home", "Snarker's Son", "The Strange Years", and a nearly 20,000 word novella (Feasibility Study) appearing for the first time anywhere.

Brian Lumley's Cthulhu Mythos writings began in the 1960s when he was included in new collections by August Derleth's Arkham House. While today, the author is probably better-known for his Necroscope and Psychomech series, he has continued with his Mythos stories for over 40 years. This volume spans that career, using Derleth's suggestion that the Mythos monsters could be viewed as "Elementals", and includes a new novella-length story.

These are just some of the stories in this collection from award-winning author Brian A. Hopkins.

Enticed by tales of lucrative trade, he sets sail for the coasts of Africa and India.
