In a collection inspired by the mythologies of Europe, China, and her beloved Aotearoa-New Zealand, four-time Bram Stoker Award®-winner Lee Murray twists and subverts ancient themes, stitching new creatures from blood and bone, hiding them in soft forest mists and dark subterranean prisons.

In this volume, construction workers uncover a hidden tunnel, soldiers wander, lost after a skirmish, and a dead girl yearns for company.

Featuring eleven uncanny tales of automatons, zombies, golems, and dragons, and including the Taine McKenna adventure "Into the Clouded Sky", Murray's Grotesque: Monster Stories breathes new life into the monster genre.
