The Children of Gla'aki
The Children of Gla'aki | Ramsey Campbell
6 posts | 1 read | 1 reading
There is a lake in the Severn Valley, near a town called Brichester. It is an eerie, haunted place, both by day and by night. Night especially though, is a time when no one in their right mind would go anywhere near it, or those oddly deserted houses that stand, albeit barely, on the edge of the shore. But why? What is it that moves about in that lake, a thing that makes its presence known with three sinister glowing eyes that protrude from beneath the water? Some believe it is an entity that traveled to Earth, many thousands of years ago inside a hollow meteor. Ramsey Campbell, Nick Mamatas, John Goodrich, Robert M. Price, Pete Rawlik, W.H. Pugmire, Edward Morris, Scott R. Jones, Thana Niveau, William Meikle, Orrin Grey, Tom Lynch, Konstantine Paradias, Josh Reynolds, Lee Clarke Zumpe, and Tim Waggoner, these are, The Children of Gla'aki.

“I'm not usually a fan of the present tense in writing, but I was won over by Tim Waggoner's 'The Nature of Water'. The story was so vivid, and Mark's dreams were incredibly eerie.“

“I loved that 'Night of the Hopfrog' by Tim Curran was presented as a transcript of 'the Lakeside Tapes'. I often think of Ramsey Campbell's stories as being quite visual, and this short story based in his Brichester and Mercy Hill locations brought out that quality nicely.“
