Publisher's summary
Based on the mythos of H.P. Lovecraft and true historical events, The New Madrid Horror details the dastardly deeds which triggered a massive earthquake that devastated the state of Missouri along the Mississippi River. This is a story of family-gone-wrong, a tale of piracy, murder, and cannibalism. Worst of all, it reveals the cosmic horror derived from numerology. What is the true number of that great river? What happens when that number, that name, is called out?
This story originally appeared in Folded Steel: More Tales of the Weird and Woeful.

In the milky mountains, upon the lofty summit known as Altar Peak, stand the spacious and somber ruins of a monastery once famous as the ARK. Traditions would link it with an antiquity so hoary as the Flood. Numerous legends have been woven about the Ark, but the one most current on the tongues of local mountaineers among whom I chanced to spend a certain summer in the shade of Altar Peak is the following: Many years after the great Deluge, Noah and his family, and his family’s increase, drifted into the Milky Mountains.

Story
The Aztecs believed offerings of human blood and human lives were necessary to the continued running of the universe. Indeed, in Aztec myths, the gods themselves make sacrifices of their own blood and even of their entire bodies in order to create a universe humans can live in and, in one story, to create humans themselves. To the ancient Aztecs, these practices seemed fitting, necessary, and honorable, helping to connect the world of humans to the divine world of the gods, a universe that in Aztec myth took shape in cycles of creation, destruction, and rebirth.

Story
When Walt Whitman self-published "Leaves of Grass" in 1855, he rocked the literary world and forever changed the course of poetry. In subsequent editions, Whitman continued to revise and expand his poems - but none matched the raw power and immediacy of the first edition. This volume presents the 1855 "Leaves of Grass" in its entirety, unchanged, along with Ralph Waldo Emerson's famous letter to Whitman.

Story
In 1912, history was changed by the Miracle, when the old world of Europe was replaced by Darwinia, a strange land of nightmarish jungle and antediluvian monsters. To some, the Miracle was an act of divine retribution; to others, it is an opportunity to carve out a new empire. Leaving an America now ruled by religious fundamentalists, young Guilford Law travels to Darwinia on a mission of discovery that will take him further than he can possibly imagine.

Horror on the Mississippi River.
Audible US: Danny Montooth brought even more creepiness into this short read. A new take on the Missouri/Mississippi river earthquakes. Twins having twins! Yes, incest. Twin brothers. Robbery. Cannibalism. Horror. Pure creepy horror.

Horrific
I'm unsure where to take this without revealing too much. Once again I appreciated Hollingsworth's rich vocabulary and clever wordplay as he unravels a nightmare of devastating ramifications. Having traveled this area of the country only made it that much more horrifying. This was a smart tale from an exceptional writer that shouldn't be missed.

Another great short for Lovecraft fans
Things wait in the wings and shadows of our world and when they are revealed and they come in to our world to play. Things will never be the same. Numerology and history collide to create a chilling tale of terror and destruction. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator or publisher

The New Madrid Horror
What a weird and crazy story. Cosmic horror where brothers deal in magic and pursue evil devices to the point that one twin decides he must eat his brother to gain back in the bloodline. Things don’t go the way you may expect. I really liked it. It was a really well done tale.

Danny Montooth is awesome!
This is a messed up Lovecraftian tale. I liked it! It's really short but it packs a punch. I would listen or read more from this author. I listened to this one. It's narrated by Danny Montooth and wow! He is really, really good!
I requested this audio book in exchange for a honest review.
