Reanimatrix - Softcover

Pete Rawlik has been active in all things Lovecraftian since his father read him The Rats in the Walls” when he was a child as a bedtime story. For more than two decades he has run Dead Ink, selling rare and unusual books. Rawlik’s fiction has appeared in numerous magazine and anthologies. His two novels, Reanimators and The Weird Company, were both published by Night Shade Books.

Rawlik takes the epistolary form through turns alternately weird, witty, and sexy in this tale of abomination and obsession, giving readers a lively romp through Lovecraft country that will leave fans of the genre hungry for more. Even better, Megan Halsey-Griffith is the anti-heroine you don't want to just read about you want to be.”
Wendy N. Wagner, author of Starspawn and Skinwalkers

Creating original work that pays homage to the classics without sliding into slavish imitation is a tightrope act, and one that Pete Rawlik pulls off with aplomb in Reanimatrix. The result is a richly inventive, Wold Newton-ish world in which Lovecraft’s creations rub shoulders with figures from history, fiction, and beyond. It’s a place where Dr. Jekyll, Dr. Moreau, and My Fair Lady’s Professor Henry Higgins can collaborate to study the Color Out of Space,’ and really, what more could you ask for?”
Orrin Grey, author of Painted Monsters & Other Strange Beasts

Rawlik takes readers on a kaleidoscopic terror ride . . . Lovecraft connoisseurs will find much to love in this frequently gruesome and, at times, quite racy tale.”
Publishers Weekly

Blew even my vague early expectations away . . . It's fun, it's sly, it's clever. I was reminded of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.”
The Horror Fiction Review

I loved the detective noir style and the Lovecraftian horror element of this book.”
San Francisco Book Review

Reanimatrix is a genre-blending thrill ride. . . Rawlik does a wonderful job of grabbing you and immersing you into his world. It's a true pleasure to read.”
The Qwillery

A satisfying mystery told in a perfect 1920s hardboiled narrative voice and style with just the right amount of Lovecraftian-inspired chills to keep horror fans interested. Especially fun is how Rawlik seamlessly works famous doctors from horror fiction’s past [eg, Dr. Frankenstein, Dr. Moreau, Dr. Jekyll] into the plot.”
RA For All

It is safe to say that at this point, Pete Rawlik knows the world of Lovecraft better than Lovecraft himself . . . Reanimatrix takes Lovecraft and places him squarely in the world of Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett . . . It is Rawlik’s most mature work to date, alternately gory and salacious but still letting the story set the pace.”
