Iced on Aran — Brian Lumley

From the Bram Stoker Awardâ€"winning author, a sculpture garden holds a chilling fate for heroes in these connected stories set in the world of H. P. Lovecraft.

Once David Hero was an ordinary man living in the real world. Now he is trapped in the Dreamlands, cut off from the waking world. David Hero's dreams and nightmares have become his only reality . . .

Atop the Dreamlands' most majestic mountain is an unusual sculpture garden, featuring statues of the Dreamlands' legendary heroes. For generations insane artists have created and tended the glistening statues of ice. Each hero is represented by twin portraits -- perfectly matched except for the expressions of horror frozen into one of each pair!

Seated on a chilly rock, David Hero is the mad sculptor's newest subject. He sees nothing to account for the fear and dread on the icy faces that surround him. Until he attempts to rise from his pedestal -- and discovers that the rock is not the only thing shrouded in ice!

Trapped by black sorcery, David Hero has only one chance to escape . . .
