Grimoire
Synopsis
A multi-author collection of dark fiction and horror, this first volume gathers stories curated under Mitchell Lüthi's Sentinel Creatives. Contributors include C. L. Werner, Madison Kilian, Erica Schaef and H. P. Lovecraft, alongside Lüthi's own work. The tales range widely across the genre, from medieval horror and Lovecraftian cosmic dread to monstrous Kaiju, accursed djinn and pestilential priests. Some are quietly unsettling and others openly frightening, but together they move from the comfort of the hearth toward far darker territory. As an anthology it has no single cast or continuous plot; each entry stands on its own while sharing the collection's appetite for the grim and the strange.

Frequently asked questions
Is Grimoire written entirely by Mitchell Lüthi?
No. It is a multi-author dark fiction and horror anthology, the first volume, curated under Lüthi's Sentinel Creatives. Contributors include C. L. Werner, Madison Kilian, Erica Schaef and H. P. Lovecraft, alongside Lüthi's own work.
What kinds of horror does the anthology cover?
A wide range, from medieval horror and Lovecraftian cosmic dread to monstrous Kaiju, accursed djinn and pestilential priests. The tones run from subtly unsettling to openly frightening.
Why is there an H. P. Lovecraft story in a modern anthology?
Lovecraft's fiction is in the public domain, and the collection places his classic cosmic horror alongside new stories working in the same dark tradition.
Is Grimoire connected to Lüthi's novels?
Not directly. It is a standalone anthology rather than part of his Plagueborne or Pierre-and-Remi books, though it shares his taste for medieval and supernatural horror and draws on his Sentinel Creatives circle.
Is there an audiobook edition?
Yes. Grimoire was released in audiobook through Sentinel Creatives with a full cast of narrators.
