With eight psychotropic visions of terror and transformation set in the urban tides pools of San Francisco, COPPING SQUID weaves a tapestry of otherworldly menace shot through with threads of awe-inspiring majesty: of invisible outsiders and self-medicting seekers whose desperate prayers and hidden rituals lead them to behold their warped reflections in the all-seeing eyes of the secret masters of creation. With the deceptive ease and streetwise enlightenment of a weird storytelling master, Michael Shea fearlessly sounds the unplumbed depths of the Cthulhu Mythos to witness revelations from which traditional cosmic horror has always averted its dark-adapted gaze.
