title: The Altar In The Hills and Other Weird Tales
author:  Brandon Barrows 
description: "Brandon Barrows is walking in mighty tall footsteps. Like Ramsey Campbell and others before him, he's mining depths first excavated by H.P. Lovecraft. Yes, there is much of Lovecraft and the Lovecraftian, with purpose, here--along with Nikola Tesla, sewer workers, child therapists, dreamers, schemers, wanderers, and those going where angels not only fear to tread, but where angels go to die. Like most of Barrows's protagonists, you must 'see it for yourself'--take the plunge!" - Stephen R. Bissette (SWAMP THING, TYRANT, TABOO)
