Hailed By Architectural Digest as one of the top 100 designers and architects at work today, William W. Stubbs has designed urban penthouses, vacation retreats, and country mansions around the globe from Hawaii to Moscow. In this lively, irreverent memoir, Stubbs recounts the extraordinary, exasperating, often hilarious adventures that have colored his stellar career. Illustrated with more than 150 color photographs of the spaces Stubbs has transformed, the book details the activities and thought processes that went into some of his most spectacular projects. These include the reconstruction of an ordinary Mexican vacation house into a mansion worthy of its stunning views of Acapulco Bay, the renovation of a 100-year-old schoolhouse in Newport, Rhode Island, into stylish apartments for senior citizens; and the project that inspired the book's title, a Houston penthouse designed around the color red, which caused his impulsive client to fire him over the phone. (Of course, when the client saw the finished apartment, he loved it-to the point that Stubbs had trouble convincing him to abandon the color in subsequent renovations.) Also featured is Stubbs's most breathtaking project to date: a country dacha in the Ukraine that he transformed from a dowdy Soviet retreat into an estate fit for a king. Its lavish main house boasts not only jewel-like rooms, but also a unique "hidden" bar, a state-of-the art home theater, and an astonishing underground wine cellar. The main house is surrounded by a sublime park, also designed by Stubbs, featuring a man-made lake and waterfalls, a gazebo, and charming bridges even Olmsted and Vaux would happily claim as their own. This entertaining volume is a rarity-a beautiful design book that people will actually want to read. Book jacket.

Yog-Sothoth, known as the Key and the Gate and a host of other names, is H.P. Lovecraft's most enduring creation after the Necronomicon and Great Cthulhu itself. An eldritch god that occupies all time and space, Yog-Sothoth is most known for his role as the antagonist in The Dunwich Horror but has played a role in many other Cthulhu Mythos stories. Sometimes as a being invoked for spells, others as a monster trying to enter reality, and a few places as a giver of hidden wisdom. TALES OF YOG-SOTHOTH features several stories centered around the creepy deity and its monstrous intelligence. Featuring the work of several Neo-Mythos authors who have already dabbled in the world of cosmic horror. C.T. Phipps (Cthulhu Armageddon), David Niall Wilson (The Call of Distant Shores), David Hambling (Harry Stubbs), Matthew Davenport (Andrew Doran), and David J. West (Let Sleeping Gods Lie). Whether pulpy heroes punching evil cultists, robed assassins hunting unnatural monsters, or rednecks dealing with monsters in their back yard, you won't be disappointed with the results. This book is a follow-up to TALES OF THE AL-AZIF.
