The night the stars fell, we could hear the sounds: that low thump-thump from somewhere in the sky, like the beating of some gigantic heart... In Sylvan County, Virginia, strange sounds often accompany the coming of darkness. They drift among the remote and shadowed hills, mountains, and valleys as if with a purpose ... cognizant ... alive. Like an ominous fugue, this music emanates from portals unknown, weaving a soundtrack for the night itself ... a dirge for those who dare to venture into the mysterious and forbidding spheres beyond sound. Each of the stories in The Last Trumpet stands on its own; but over the course of the book, they form a progression that leads to the book's chilling, definitive climax. Inspired by the works of H. P. Lovecraft, The Last Trumpet is a shining entry in the realm of Cthulhu Mythos fiction, from one of this genre's most prolific authors.
