You will face parasitic computer code, murderous toads, trees that are malevolent gods, and many more despicable creations.
Told with the trademark playfulness Tim Mendees has become known for, these monstrous stories are all at once terrifying, disturbing, clever, and often irreverent. "The Pseudopod That Rocks the Cradle" by Tim Mendees is a cosmic horror short story collection published by Mannison Press, LLC.

Customer Reviews
These are the tentacles you’ve been looking for!
Tim Mendees writes cosmic horror with a joy and glee that makes his work so much fun. When I heard he had an anthology of 18 stories coming out I knew I had to own it. What I got was sinister apple trees, terrors from the deep and exiled gods. There were grating squeals and rumbling gurgles, abominations aplenty and a little something special in your drink. There is a wonderful gothic sensibility mixed with lush descriptions that take you into the stories. There is humour and dark justice. There are also tentacles, so many tentacles, that will submerge you into the pages of this book. Beyond atmosphere and shivers there is also Tim's ability to strike a chord within our own psyches, our fears and insecurities and our ability to feel alien in our own neighbourhoods. Tim just knows how to tell an excellent story. This gets five stars.
