Persons Non Grata

Persons Non Grata is Cassandra Khaw’s groundbreaking Lovecraftian horror series, which follows time-traveling alien detective John Persons across the eras as he confronts evil both mundane and monstrous. The first novella, which blends weird horror with classic noir, is Hammers on Bone. Praise for the series:

“Khaw brilliantly combines the self-aware, on-point tone of her gumshoe narrator with the invasive rhythm of the language of pulsing terrors. The drearily everyday is infused with Lovecraftian dread in a marvelously horrifying, tightly built novella that spins a satisfying tale while doing honor to both of its core sources.” – Publishers Weekly, starred review

“Cassandra Khaw’s explosive, evocative prose is a treat to read. Khaw’s ability to transform the mundane into the deeply phantasmagorical is nothing short of magical. Prepare to take a long leap into the gory, the weird, and the fantastic in the hands of a fresh new voice in fiction.” – Kameron Hurley, Hugo Award-winning author of Mirror Empire and The Geek Feminist Revolution

“Khaw has a definite flair for the grotesque.” – RT Book Reviews
