Deadman's Tome The Ancient Ones

Deadman's Tome The Ancient Ones

This collection of dark, Lovecraftian horror contains stories that would hopefully please Cthulhu and the rest of The Ancient Ones. This issue of Deadman's Tome starts off with Roofwork by Raven McAllister. A slow burn that reads as if it was a long lost work of H. P. Lovecraft recently discovered. Roofwork is followed by The Darkness from the Ground by S. Alessandro Martinez, a balanced blend of Cthulhu cultist and slasher horror. The Tongue of the Ocean by Stanley B. Webb explores the ocean depths for a thing that should not be. A strange dark infestation thrives in the dorms of cursed university in HELL BEYOND EARTH by Jared Kane. A serial killer becomes the prey of an abhorrent monstrosity in The Shambler by Philip Kleaver. Slow No Wake by Jeff C. Stevenson probes into the bizarre sighting of tentacles near the North Carolina Intracoastal Waterway. Under Other Gods by Wallace Boothill explores parallel universes to discover unfathomable horrors. Bury Me Not on the Lonesome Prairie by C. S. Anderson frames a Lovecraft Old Ones story in the Old West with a showdown between gunslingers and Shoggoth. A traveler discovers an ancient journal that tells of ungodly cultist horror during the dark ages in The Tomb in the Sands by Jeff Robertson. The collection closes with War Crimes by M.R. Wallace, a tale that reminds us that even modern military is no match to the powers and influence of The Ancient Ones.
