The Testament Of Cthulhu: Tales Of Weird Fantasy & Horror

4.1/5 ( ratings)

THE TESTAMENT OF CTHULHU features five stories of weird horror in the tradition of H.P. Lovecraft and Robert W. Chambers. In "Sea-Green Gown With Gold Buttons," a tale of THE KING IN YELLOW, a beautiful drag queen is caught in a web of evil upon falling in love with a citizen of Carcosa. A grotesque deity exacts an unspeakably complete vengeance in "The Foul One Lives To Destroy." In "The Testament Of Cthulhu," an ailing traveler visits a community with a hideous secret ... a secret that might be the answer to his complex medical problems. "The Ambassador From Ulthar" tells of a young man who cannot escape his fate after injuring a denizen of the Dreamlands. While escaping from an abusive relationship, an aspiring writer encounters an unlikely ally in "The Sea-Spider." Mark McLaughlin is the author of BEST LITTLE WITCH-HOUSE IN ARKHAM and MAGIC CANNOT DIE, and Michael Sheehan, Jr. has co-authored THE ABOMINATIONS OF NEPHREN-KA, THE HORROR IN THE WATER TOWER, THE BLASPHEMY IN THE CANOPIC JAR, SHOGGOTH APOCALYPSE, THE RELIC IN THE EGYPTIAN GALLERY, and THE CREATURE IN THE WAXWORKS with McLaughlin.
