PENTACLE collects the classic tales of an unnamed Necromancer and his demonic familiar "Self" as they wander the spectral highways of America incurring the wrath of both heaven and hell. Praise for PENTACLE: "I was delighted with the assurance of his prose and imagery. The stories abound with startling and emotive incidents." --Charles de Lint, The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction "While technically horror fiction, PENTACLE has more the feel of mythic fantasy, with larger than life characters and wonderous events. This is an odd, unclassifiable and quite enjoyable short book." --Science Fiction Chronicle "This is whiplash fiction that takes dangerous curves at 150 m.p.h." --Deathrealm
Book by Edward Lee, Gerard Houarner, Tom Piccirilli

"In this disturbing, often grotesque and ultimately mesmerizing collection, Piccirilli reprints 17 stories and 45 poems. Although the star-studded introductions are a nice bonus, Piccirilli's stories are the selling point, and all are standouts. `An Average Insanity, a Common Agony' is an emotionally devastating tale of a man trying to do the right thing for the sake of an innocent creature. `Alchemy tells the story of five emotionally stunted people whose discovery of a dead body lets them visit their own dark places (`They weren't frightened |by the sight of the corpsel. None of us were. It broke up the monotony'). `With an Ear for My Father's Weeping' manages to be both touching and hysterical. Piccirilli's unique mix of gore, violence and a literate style bordering on the lyrical help make this collection one that horror fans will relish." ---Publishers Weekly (starred review) Futile Efforts features nearly 500 pages of Tom Piccirilli's unique blend of intense and provocative writing.
