Over the last decade, Geoffrey Reiter has established himself as a distinctive voice in weird fiction. His tales, far from being mere shudder-coining, probe profound questions of the self and of humanity's relationship to the boundless cosmos. A moral and religious sensibility underlies much of his work-a sensibility that only augments the clutching horror of his scenarios.

Over the last decade, Geoffrey Reiter has established himself as a distinctive voice in weird fiction. His tales, far from being mere shudder-coining, probe profound questions of the self and of humanity's relationship to the boundless cosmos. A moral and religious sensibility underlies much of his work-a sensibility that only augments the clutching horror of his scenarios. In "Testing the Spirits," a Christian rock band devolves into internal disputes, with horrific results. "Adept" tells of an ancient manuscript that may reveal secrets about Atlantis. In "Big Sky," a hapless family appears to be trapped in its home by mysterious forces. "A Green Shade" speaks of two women on the trail of a centuries-old witch. "The Lime Kiln" elaborates upon the work of H. P. Lovecraft in its account of horrors in the rural milieu, while the novella "The Cartographer" delves deeply into the geography of magic. Reiter has also distinguished himself as a poet, and this volume features a dozen or more poems that span the universe in their search for terror and wonder. Geoffrey Reiter is Associate Professor and Coordinator of Humanities at Lancaster Bible College (Lancaster, Pennsylvania). He received his Ph.D. from Baylor University. He is the author of numerous articles on the intersection of literature and religion, as well as stories and poems. This is his first volume of fiction.
