Kthulhu Reich

Author of over 120 novels, Ken Asamatsu's latest English release by Kurodahan Press is no exception. A collection of 7 stories written for separate publications between and , Kthulhu Reich weaves a rich fictional tapestry of fact, real figures, and history, all centered on Hitler's fascination with the occult. From tanks fighting invulnerable eldritch horrors, to Jack the Ripper hunting for the perfect woman to be the vessel of a prophesied leader (this had a surprising twist as to how it fit into the tapestry and really shines a light on how well-versed the author is in not only history, but the occult), to colossal undersea monsters chasing U-boats. There's something for everyone, even if you're not a horror fan, but most certainly if you are! Jim Rion's translation is flawless, his localization of Asamatsu's work is dead on (pardon the intentional pun) with not a single clumsy line in the whole volume.
