From Brett J. Talley, the master of Lovecraftian terror, comes thirteen tales of the dark forces that lurk just beyond man’s understanding.
A scientist who opens a door between dimensions. A creature that devours the dead in World War I’s no man’s land. A fiddler who can bring forth the gods of old. These are but a few of the horrors retold in The Fiddle is the Devil’s Instrument and Other Forbidden Knowledge.
Read them if you must but do not forget: there are some things mankind was never meant to know.

Review
"Talley's writing is clean and fluid with eloquent dialogue and imagery which is both unpredictable and disturbing. This is my first experience with Brett J. Talley, so whether his muse is only Lovecraft himself, or he can pull off such storytelling on his own, I don't know. But if this is all he does--appeases Lovecraft's fans, utilizing HPL's tools--then he does it exceptionally well." -Cemetery Dance
From the Back Cover
"It'll take less than a single page before you are fully enveloped into a world of dusty texts, Gothic seances, and old-world terrors. Brett J. Talley's latest sojourn into the world of Lovecraftian horrors is like tasting a dark and mystic wine--one which may or may not be laced with arsenic. This collection solidifies my adoration of Talley's work." -Ronald Malfi, author of The Night Parade
