The Strage Dark One, by WH Pugmire

[essentialsaltes]

The Strange Dark One collects an eight-fingered handful of stories centering on Nyarlathotep -- at least Wilum's take on this protean entity -- set primarily in Pugmire's dream-haunted Sesqua Valley, though I also much appreciated the one detour into 'Lovecraft territory'. The stories leap off the page from time to time in fabulous passages of near-prose-poetry that are really evocative.
