The Eyes of the Overlords
Description
"Above us watch eyes unblinking and cold..."
Safety lies underground. We all know this. That's why when we "go to ground," we are safe. That's why when we are not underground, we are "exposed." Humanity has always understood that no matter how weird and scary the world might be, the genuine terrors are the things that move above the world. To those lofty things, we don't even exist.
As we consider lesser beings "beneath us," it is without question that there are inscrutable beings who consider us "beneath them" and on those occasions we make our presence known to them, inevitably, they treat us the same way we treat those creatures beneath us. In other words, squashed without a second thought. Or even a first thought.
In volume sixteen of Terror Stories from the Territories, discover eleven unsettling tales of the horrors that lord themselves over us all, and are beholden to no one, as transcribed from the lost journals of Jack Harlowe, an enigmatic traveler, an adventurous man whose face is as trustworthy as his pen is eager, and an observer of the human condition we know as terror.
