The Bone-God's Lair and Other Tales of the Famous and the Infamous

Book excerpt: Drop into The Bone-God’s Lair and take a walk on the Wild Side! Here is premier horror-sci-fi writer A. R. Morlan's introduction to some of Pop Culture's most famous (and infamous) practitioners, from Marilyn Monroe’s poignant farewell in "The Sweet End of the Lollipop," to Andy Warhol’s wandering spirit in Norm Littman's 15 Minutes, and Jim Morrison's incorruptible presence in "He's Hot, He's Sexy, He's..." Morlan captures the essence of each cause celebre, including a few monsters thrown in for good measure: H. P. Lovecraft's Dunwich Horror monster, in "Taking Down the Book of the Rough Beast" and Adolph Hitler in "The Gemütlichkeit Escape." Toss in a sci-fi classic "The Time-Vacation Trilogy," and you have the recipe for imaginative writing at its best.
