Sword and Sorcery fiction set in the Mythos timeline after the fall of Hyperborea and before the rise of ancient eygpt. Terra Khash is a great character part Conan part Gray Mouser. I own the ganley edition of this book and its a good ride, great story! Lumley is one of the best.
A great site with everything under one roof. Easy to browse and easy to order, what more do you need.

This place is the greatest!! I have been collecting small press horror books for a few years now and it was always a pleasure dealing with Shane and Larry at their respective stores. Now you get two of the best in the business under one roof! I cannot wait until they start putting out their Infernal House books. They are going to be true works of art I am sure. Thanks guys!!
Author: Mark Sylva This is a great, funny, wild ride from Konrath and Strand. The two characters, Harry McGlade and Andrew Mayhem are both hilarious. I still can't decide which one I like best, but after reading this story it made me want to go and get more books with these guys in them.
The Delirium mini hardcovers are the nicest books out there and affordable too. Great artwork on the outside, and always a great read on the inside.
Author: William C. Rasmussen Wow, do I have to disagree with Sylva's earlier review! Granted, this Delirium mini-hardcover is a nice-looking book, as are all the previous offerings in this series. But the collaboration between Konrath and Strand I found to be just plain silly. I've not read any other work from Konrath, but Pressure from Strand is an excellent suspense tale. I wish he would write more in that same vein (no pun intended!). This short work featuring the authors' famous series characters IMO really reaches for humor and falls short. And the plot, involving "Pires", is another huge, unsuccessful stretch of the readers' imagination. Sorry, quality of the product aside, this novella/novelette just did not work for me.
Author: geoff guthrie This is a short funny crime type of novel. It takes two characters, one from each of the authors previous books and they play with both characters in a new story. Meyhem starts of as the protagonist and is going to the store to buy some spaghetti sauce without mushrooms, after getting yelled at by his wife. He runs into Harry McGlade a P.I. type of guy who is breaking into a house looking for a missing girl. The house is a vampire cult, and it tells of their misshapen adventures inside the house, and then the bickering between the two when they try to make this story into a best selling book. This book isn't going to raise your IQ, but it was fun to read, and that was it's intention. I was laughing out loud a few times, so I would say it succeeded. Recommended.
Author: Jack Staynes I had an idea what to expect from this little gem of a book and I wasn't dissapointed. I'm familar with Strand but had never read anything by Konrath, that's gonna change now. I found it funny and entertaining throughout. A great addition to the Hardcover chapbook line from Delirium. These two guys just seemed to gel together, and the story really worked out well.
Author: Josef Hernandez As a fan of Strand and his Andrew Mayhem books, it was great news to get another story with that character. I'm not familiar with Konrath's writing but I knew I was in for a treat with anything that had Mayhem in it. And I wasn't disappointed. This book is fun in the typical Mayhem fashion and the parts of the book written by Konrath were very good as well and the two worked together to create an entertaining little story. The style of the writers telling the story from the point of view of their character fit right in with how the Mayhem books were laid out and the action was non-stop and humorous. Recommended for anyone even if they are unfamiliar with Strand and Konrath. Being a fan of these characters (or at least one of them) will allow you to enjoy the story even more, but it is not necessary to enjoy this little book. Also, you just can't beat the production qualities of these little chapbooks put out by Delirium. Highly recommended.
