“Maplecroft� is the actual name of the house where Lizzie Borden lived. I have to think that Priest gave a little squeal of delight upon discovering that because it’s so dang *gothic*.


The Milkweed Triptych by Ian Tregillis
anything by Thomas Ligotti
and most especially, any of the short story collections of Laird Barr..."
The Laundry Files are excellent, I'd definitely recommend starting at the beginning with The Atrocity Archives. There are also a few short stories and novellas that fit in to the sequence which are available for free via Stross's website


I loved Fatale!

Lovecraftian horror, gorgeous Eastern-influenced art, magic cats... this series has everything!

B5’s Vorlons and Shadows are definitely a call out to the Old Ones.

The Milkweed Triptych by Ian Tregillis
anything by Thomas Ligotti
and most especially, any of the short story collections of Laird Barron. I recommend "Swift to Chase" not be first, as it ties to several of his previous short stories
I enjoyed all of these more than anything Lovecraft actually wrote
