description: Shoggoths attack in this adrenaline-pumping novel set in the world of H. P. Lovecraft where the horrors of the cosmos know no limits . . .It was in a way humanoid as it stood on two legs and possessed two arms that ended in delicate digits that I would dare to call hands. Its skin was a pale blue like the eggs of a robin and curiously dry looking. The head was massive with a huge bulbous cranium a large lipless mouth and three blood red eyes that stared out at the world with nothing but hate.When it opened its mouth to speak it issued forth the most horrendous of sounds something empty and hollow like the wind blowing through a dead tree and it made me cringe to hear it . . .The story of Dr. Hartwell (Reanimators) continues but now he has company. Weird company: a witch a changeling a mad scientist and a poet trapped in the form of a beast. These are not heroes but monsters . . . monsters to fight monsters. Their adventures rage across the globe from the mountains and long-forgotten caves of Antarctica to the dimly lit backstreets of Innsmouth that still hold terrifying secrets. The unholy creatures released upon the world via the ill-fated Lake expedition to Antarctica must be stopped. And only the weird company stands in their way.Continuing in the fashion of Reanimators The Weird Company finds Lovecraft expert Pete Rawlik taking some of the most well-known of H. P. Lovecrafts creations and creating a true Frankenstein monster of a storya tale more horrific than anything Lovecraft could have imagined . . .
