Book Description
The first in a series of anthologies devoted to the Lovecraftian gods, Ordo ab Chao follows the highly successful The Gods of HP Lovecraft (published in 2015 by JournalStone Publishing). We begin our series with the primal origins and the god Azathoth, who represents primordial chaos in the Lovecraftian Mythos. H.P. Lovecraft described Azathoth as a demon king ruling from a dark throne in the middle of the fiery cosmic void, out of which all created things emanated. Surrounding this orbiting spiral of infinite chaos and creation sounded the repetitive notes of an incessant flute, a reference to the Greek god Pan and the symbol of chaos behind the orderliness of nature. Taking this as our departure, the stories in this volume approach Azathoth through the concept of “order out of chaos” (or Ordo ab Chao in Latin). Ordo ab Chao includes new work from some of the most talented and respected authors in horror and dark fantasy, featuring stories from T. Kingfisher, Ruthanna Emrys, Adam L. G. Nevill, Kaaron Warren, Brian Evenson, Donald Tyson, Richard Thomas, Richard Gavin, Matthew Cheney, Erica Ruppert, Jamieson Ridenhour, Maxwell I. Gold, Lena Ng, Nathan Carson, Samuel Marzioli, Lauri Taneli Lassila, Akis Linardos, and R. B. Payne.

Book Description
The hidden plotters of the events unfolding in the world today are deliberately attempting to fulfill the prophecies of the Book of Revelation, to bring about the rule of their expected messiah and the construction of the Third Temple in Jerusalem. Although ostensibly a Christian book, these schemers follow a Gnostic tradition, which interprets the Bible in reverse, where the God the creator is evil, and Lucifer is the liberator. They also understand that the book is representative of the teachings of the Kabbalah, an occult tradition that began in Babylon in the sixth century BC. Known to the ancient world as the Chaldean Magi, the first Kabbalists spread to other parts of the world, most importantly Greece, where they founded philosophy, and Egypt, to produce Hermeticism. These schools became the foundation of what is called the Western occult tradition, being first adopted by the world of Islam, before being transmitted to Europe at the time to the Crusades, when they were received by the Knights Templar, and contributed to the legends of the Holy Grail. Although the Templars were arrested and tried for heresy in 1312, they survived in numerous orders, including the Order of Santiago, the Order of Christ, the Order of the Garter, and finally, the most prestigious of all, the Order of the Golden Fleece, governed by hereditary claimants of the Kingdom of Jerusalem. It was a confluence of these orders which would give rise to the modern European civilization, through the Age of Discovery, the Renaissance, the Protestant Reformation, and then finally the Rosicrucian movement, which would eventually transform into Freemasonry.

Book Description
Having gone underground with the arrest of the Templars in 1312, the occult European occult tradition re-emerged when they announced themselves to the world as the Rosicrucians in 1623, deliberately timed with the Great Conjunction, the most important event in astrology, often associated with the coming of the messiah. According to their calculations, based on the Kabbalah, the event would mark the dawn of a new "millennium" which would endure just 42 years, until the Last Judgment in 1666, the year that Sabbatai Zevi took the Jewish world by storm when he announced himself the expected messiah. Zevi disappointed the majority of his followers when he converted to Islam, but a few interpreted his apostasy in mystical terms, and continued to advance his subversive mission. They contributed to the explosion of secret societies in the eighteenth century, most infamously the Bavarian Illuminati, and contributed to the Enlightenment and ultimately the French and American revolutions. Thus, they succeeded in transplanting the traditional enemy of the occult underground, the Catholic Church, and incepted the separation of Church and State, beginning the secular rule that characterizes most Western governments today. Although historians discount the continued influence of the Illuminati, because the order was disbanded in 1786, they survived as the Carbonari, whose goal was the creation of the Kingdom of Italy, and ultimately, a Masonic Pope. The Carbonari also played a conspiratorial role in fomenting the Civil War, in league with the Order of the Skull and Bones and Ku Klux Klan, seeding the racist sentiments that would continue to divide American society, until they were again exploited to support the election of Donald Trump.

Book Description
A 2021 Shirley Jackson Award nominee, Where All is Night, and Starless collects seventeen unsettling stories of our fears and weaknesses, and of our often unreliable strengths: stories of monstrosity and the occasional hope, deliberately themed across three aspects of weird fiction. The section ‘On Mythos’ covers re-interpretations and subversions of themes from H P Lovecraft’s Mythos; ‘On Mysteries’ looks into strange transformations, and ‘On Myth’ delves into the realms of folklore and folk horror, each with a dark twist. From the churning hell of World War One to the quiet English suburbs, from contemporary Alaska to colonial Africa, these are weird tales of the decisions we make when faced with something strange, with turns wry, ironic, and dark. Some horrors are found not outside, but in the mirror before us. “A cornucopia of dark delights, this collection is highly imaginative, extremely well written, and a delight to read. Weird fiction at its finest!” — Tim Waggoner, Bram Stoker Award® winner and author of Your Turn to Suffer

Book Description
And The Dead Shall Rise. . . Two hellish years. That's how long it's been since the hurricanes flooded the Gulf Coast, and the dead rose up from the ruins. The cities were quarantined; the infected, contained. Any unlucky survivors were left to fend for themselves. A feast for the dead. And The Living Shall Gather. . . One boatload of refugees manages to make it out alive--but one passenger carries the virus. Within weeks, the zombie epidemic spreads across the globe. Now, retired U.S. Marshal Ed Moore must lead a group of strangers to safety, searching for sanctuary from the dead. A last chance for the living. Let The Battle Begin. In the North Dakota Grasslands, bands of survivors converge upon a single outpost. Run by a self-appointed preacher of fierce conviction--and frightening beliefs--it may be humanity's only hope. But Ed Moore and the others refuse to enter a suicide pact. They'd rather stand and fight in the final battle against the zombies. An apocalypse of the dead.
