![]() A must-own for all readers of Lovecraftian and weird fiction. SECRET HOURS: This collection consists of several Lovecraftian tales, a “King in Yellow” story with a nod to Ramsey Campbell, and other haunting and unsettling stories. Where to begin with his work? I recommend starting with Secret Hours, The Narrator, and The San Veneficio Canon. “Michael Cisco is of a different kind and league from almost anyone writing today, and The Narrator is Cisco at his startling best.” – China Mieville ![]() ![]() I feel that Secret Hoursis a “must-own” for readers of Lovecraftian and weird fiction. It called to mind the stories of Thomas Ligotti - though I stress that these tales are not Ligotti pastiche. I remember reading Cisco’s short story collection Secret Hours years ago and being blown away by it. With that in mind, I’d like to call your attention to Michael Cisco. I’ve been told many times by Lovecraft eZine readers that I’ve introduced them to authors and books that they’ve really enjoyed, and wouldn’t have known about otherwise.
