The Roots Grow Into the Earth by Bert S. Lechner

Eldritch terrors, cosmic gods, and dark magic collide in this collection of nine short occult cosmic horror stories and novelettes.

Dive into the first major publication by autistic author Bert S. Lechner and explore the macabre and surreal atmosphere he captured within these pages. All part of a single universe of terror, each story in this collection explores a different facet of a modern world plagued by eldritch monstrosities.

Included in this collection, you will find stories such as:

The Wall – in which a man notices a small detail on a wall in his house for the first time and unwittingly draws the attention of a malicious entity from beyond the stars.

The Orchestra is the tale of a conductor who is seduced by the promises of a malign being and steps upon the stage to conduct the symphony of a lifetime.

White Noise is a story of a man beset by a strange buzzing sound that draws him into a face-to-face encounter with an unspeakable nightmare.

His Castle Crumbles – in which a desperate man seeks the affirmations of his Patron as his life collapses around him.

Read these stories and others for yourself, but beware the madness and unfathomable terror that lurk within those dreadful pages …
