That Which Should Not Be
Author: Brett J. Talley
Publisher: JournalStone
ISBN: 1936564165
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
Miskatonic University has a long-whispered reputation of being strongly connected to all things occult and supernatural. From the faculty to the students, the fascination with other-worldly legends and objects runs rampant. So, when Carter Weston’s professor Dr. Thayerson asks him to search a nearby village for a book that is believed to control the inhuman forces that rule the Earth, Incendium Maleficarum, The Inferno of the Witch, the student doesn’t hesitate to begin the quest. Weston’s journey takes an unexpected turn, however, when he ventures into a tavern in the small town of Anchorhead. Rather than passing the evening as a solitary patron, Weston joins four men who regale him with stories of their personal experiences with forces both preternatural and damned. Two stories hit close to home as they tie the tellers directly to Weston’s current mission. His unanticipated role as passive listener proves fortuitous, and Weston fulfills his goal. Bringing the book back to Miskatonic, though, proves to be a grave mistake. Quickly, Weston realizes he has played a role in potentially opening the gate between the netherworld and the world of Man. Reversing the course of events means forgetting all he thought he knew about Miskatonic and his professor and embracing an unknown beyond his wildest imagination.

A Christmas Cthulhu
Author: David Griffiths

ISBN: 9781481163002
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 118
Book Description
This is my account of what befell Ebenezer Scrooge, professor at Miskatonic University, on Christmas Eve 1927. Some would call it madness, others a flight of fancy. The University would seek to have this journal confiscated, to have all rumour regarding Ebenezer Scrooge's disappearance silenced. Regardless, let this story act as a warning to those who would dabble in the matters of the Elder Things. The Great Cthulhu is listening. Should you ever be visited, as Old Scrooge was, on Christmas night, only you can prevent His rising. Take heed... An affectionate parody of Charles Dicken's Christmas classic, by author and playwright David Griffiths. Featuring a bonus Dickens' Christmas parody, 'The Haunted Man and The Reanimator's Bargain', and a glossary for those unfamiliar with the Cthulhu Mythos.

Summoned

Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
While browsing in a rare book store in Arkham, Sean finds an occult book with an ad seeking an apprentice sorcerer, from a newspaper dated March 21, 1895. Even more intriguing, the ad specifically requests applicants reply by email. Sean's always been interested in magic, particularly the Lovecraftian dark mythology. Against his best friend Edna's ("call-me-Eddy-or-else") advice, he decides to answer the ad, figuring it's a clever hoax, but hoping that it won't be. The advertiser, Reverend Redemption Orne, claims to be a master of the occult born more than 300 years ago. To prove his legitimacy, Orne gives Sean instructions to summon a harmless but useful familiar—but Sean's ceremony takes a dark turn, and he instead accidentally beckons a bloodthirsty servant to the Cthulhu Mythos god Nyarlathotep. The ritual is preemptively broken, and now Sean must find and bind the servitor, before it grows too strong to contain. But strange things are already happening in the town of Arkham.... Welcome to the darker side of New England in the first of a new series from Anne Pillsworth. "Summoned is a fantastic debut...this YA gothic is infused with sly wit and occult tremors in equal measure. Finally, a novel for readers who like their magic dangerous, and their hexes irrevocable." —Sean Beaudoin, author of The Infects and Wise Young Fool At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
