Creatures of Clay : And Other Stories of the

Within Creatures of Clay you will find a schizoid infatuation with sepia cellars, black crawling pits, filth encrusted walls, lycanthropic teenagers, evil little toys, calcified vampire-beings, disembodied sex maniacs, reptilian alien fiends, hypnotised mad women, corpses with living eyes, bloody Rorschach blots, beetle clocks, 4-D sound, terracotta demons, human snails, and basements full of suffocating dead things... Creatures of Clay represents Stephen Sennitt's best work as exhumed from the small press underground and horror zines, much of it long out of print. In addition there are mood-pieces and fractured narratives that have never before seen the light of day. Creatures of Clay ensures Sennitt a place at the forefront of today's transgressive writers in the realm of the weird and the horrific -- juxtaposing the elegant nightmare prose of Robert Aickman and Thomas Ligotti with a lurid pulp aesthetic, derived from Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos and the festering Skywald Horror-Mood comics of the seventies.
