Mike Davis here — welcome to the second issue of The Lovecraft eZine! You know, I think that we are somewhat programmed by society to feel that if a story is free, or online, that’s because it’s probably inferior.

Each of the writers in this issue have been published elsewhere in print, and I feel fortunate to have their stories in this magazine. I hope you enjoy them — if you do, please comment below each story and let the author know.
So without further ado, here are our stories for the March issue! Click each title to read the story.

False Light, by Adrian Chamberlin – Even in this darkness they seemed to glow with an inner luminescence, like one of those strange fish-like things Jem had seen landed along the coast last summer. Something that had no right to exist, that Francis Davey had claimed to have come from some unfathomed part of the ocean where the sunlight never fell…
Allure, by Josh Wagner – When the creature washed up on our shore, I was among the first witnesses. Taking the same walk I took every morning along the cliff trail overlooking Surfer’s Cove, I passed a small beach bound on each side by rocky shoals and tide pools. Four or five tourists had already gathered beside the creature, which at first glance I mistook for a giant tangle of seaweed…
As always, all story artwork is by mimulux!
I truly hope that you enjoy this second issue.
