Book excerpt: NOT THE END OF THE STORY The lore of Averoigne didn’t end with Clark Ashton Smith. Over the decades other writers, fascinated by this “Lovecraft country” of medieval France, added their own contributions. For the first time collected together into one volume, you can read over two dozen poems and stories of Averoigne (including some never before published) by Mythos authors like DJ Tyrer, Richard Tierney, Brian McNaughton, Michael Minnis, and James Chambers. Revisit Vyônes and Périgon, meet Luc le Chaudronnier and Azédarac once again,as old foes like the Gargoyles of Vyônes Cathedral and the Colossus of Ylourgne return to wreck more havoc. But new threats are always lurking in the shadows. Join the peasantry of Averoigne in their struggles to survive in their cursed, monster-haunted homeland as they face threats ranging from ghostly cats to man-eating ogres. Tales of harpies and werewolves, witches and necromancers, changelings and cockatrices await you, as well as villains of the more human variety like fanatical Inquisitors, heretical cults, and druids serving dark gods. Includes the following short stories: THE ORACLE OF SADOQUA by Ron Hilger THE WEDDING OF SHEILA-NA-GOG by G. Arthur Rahman & Richard L. Tierney THE CULT OF THE SINGING FLAME by David Reid Ross THE DOOM OF AZÉDARAC by Ron Hilger THE PINK FLOWER OF SAINT ZÉNOBIE by Aaron Hollingsworth HUGH THE DISCERNING by Garnett Elliott THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF GHOSTLY CATS by Michael Minnis UNHALLOWED GROUND, UNHOLY FLESH by James Chambers THE LITTLE AND THE BIG by Michael Minnis THE PASSING OF BELZÉVUTHE by Simon Whitechapel THE BUTCHER OF VYÔNES by Michael Minnis BLACK ART IN VYÔNES by Keith Chapman THE COCKATRICE OF CORDELIERS by Michael Minnis CLOTAIRE OF THE CROSS by Colin Harker SYMPOSIUM OF THE GARGOYLE by Simon Whitechapel THE QUARRY by Simon Whitechapel THE GARGOYLES OF NOTRE DAME by Matthew Baugh THE RETURN OF THE COLOSSUS by Brian McNaughton THE MUSE OF AVEROIGNE by Ron Hilger & Henry J.

Download or read book The Tsathoggua Cycle written by Robert M. Price and published by Chaosium Inc.. This book was released on 2005 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can a god be a pet? Even a devil-god who relishes human sacrifice? It is hard to deny that for his creator and godfather, Clark Ashton Smith and H. P. Lovecraft, Tsathoggua was exactly that. They found the Saturnian-Hyperborean-N'klaian toad-bat-sloth-deity as cute and adorable as horrific, and this strange ambivalence echoes throughout their various tales over which Great Tsathoggua casts his batrachian shadow! Some are droll fables of human foibles; others are terrifying adventures of human delvers who perish in the fire of a religious fanaticism fully as awful as its super-sub-human object of worship. Tsathoggua has inspired many types of stories in many moods. And not just by Smith and Lovecraft! In this arcane volume you will read Tsathogguan tales old and new by various writers, chronicling the horrors of the amorphous amphibian's descent into new decades and deeper waters. The mere fact that such a thing is possible attests mightily the power of the modern myth of Tsathoggua, and the men who created him!This book is part of an expanding collection of Cthulhu Mythos horror fiction and related topics. Call of Cthulhu fiction focuses on single entities, concepts, or authors significant to readers and fans of H.P. Lovecraft.Contents and authors in order --From the Parchment of Pnom (Clark Ashton Smith)The Seven Geases (Clark Ashton Smith)The Testament of Athammaus (Clark Ashton Smith)The Tale of Satampra Zeiros (Clark Ashton Smith)The Theft of the Thirty-Nine Girdles (Clark Ashton Smith)Shadow of the Sleeping God (James Ambuehl)The Curse of the Toad (Loay Hall and Terry Dale)Dark Swamp (James Anderson)The Old One (John Glasby)The Oracle of Sadoqua (Ron Hilger)The Horror Show (GaryMyers)The Tale of Toad Loop (Stanley C.
