In the Yaddith Time
Mythos Books 2007

A 36 sonnet narrative sequence inspired by H.P. Lovecraft’s famous “Fungi From Yuggoth” sonnet cycle, combining Cthulhu Mythos horror and science fiction in a haunting -- and haunted -- journey from Mars to the farthest reaches of our universe and its ultimate fate.

54 pages perfect bound, with full color cover and atmospheric interior illustrations by Steve Lines. Introduction by noted author and poet Richard L. Tierney.

"IN THE YADDITH TIME confirms Ann K. Schwader's standing as one of the leading weird poets of our time. The deftness, panache, and verbal witchery of her sonnets compares well with Lovecraft's own FUNGI FROM YUGGOTH cycle, evoking a sense of cosmic terror that Lovecraft would have richly enjoyed." -- S.T. Joshi --

"Ann K. Schwader pays expert tribute to H.P. Lovecraft's Fungi From Yuggoth poetry collection even as she puts her own updated stamp on the Man from Providence's horrific cosmology. In contrast to HPL's 1926 volume, the 36 sonnets here deliver a truly unified narrative -- a stark and gorgeously chilling SF/horror blending of epic proportions." -- Jim Lee, Tales of the Talisman review (Volume 4, Issue 1) 4.5 out of 5 Talismans!
