Divinations of the Deep by Matt Cardin

[pamela]

I am overjoyed to announce that we have among us a kick ass horror writer!!!!
Matt, just finished reading your book and it was beautifully done!

The book a small collection of short stories is in the vein of Lovecraft but with better writing. More current. It deals with the nature of reality and what lurks within and beneath all of creation.
Remember here a while back I went on and on about the photo of the atom and wondered what was in the spaces between?
Well, maybe Matt's book has answered that for me and I am genuinely creeped out by it.
The writing is engaging and beautifully done and the level of suspense is sustained well throughout.
I look forward eagerly to your next book.
Take care Matt, you are treading in dangerous depths!

Many thanks for the shout-out, Pam. I'm glad you enjoyed the book. Even though I don't write (or at least haven't yet written) any stories about the oil-and-economy type of doom that's the chief focus here at LATOC, being driven instead by my muse to focus on the metaphysically horrific intersections between horror and religion, my doomer-sympathetic disposition does pour itself into my fiction in great quantity. So it seems appropriate that a LATOCer like yourself would find Divinations engaging. Look for more of the same, at much greater length, in Dark Awakenings when it comes out next month.

I can't wait to get the next book Matt. I've loved this type of horror writing for ever and it's so rare to find someone actually looking into the darkness like you do in these stories.
Love the artist story about the fog BTW.
