Matthew Davenport

    Matthew Davenport is een verhalenverteller wiens werk diep doordrenkt is van de onheilspellende sfeer van de Cthulhu Mythos. Hij creëert verhalen die zich verdiepen in de donkerdere krochten van de menselijke ervaring, vaak met thema's als kosmische horror en het onrustbarende onbekende. Zijn unieke stijl combineert ingewikkelde wereldopbouw met een voelbaar gevoel van dreiging, waardoor lezers worden uitgenodigd in zorgvuldig geconstrueerde, huiveringwekkende werkelijkheden. Davenports bijdragen aan het genre reiken verder dan zijn eigen schrijven, aangezien hij actief deelneemt aan en vormgeeft aan gesprekken over de Lovecraftiaanse lore.

      Yog-Sothoth, known as the Key and the Gate and a host of other names, is H.P. Lovecraft's most enduring creation after the Necronomicon and Great Cthulhu itself. An eldritch god that occupies all time and space, Yog-Sothoth is most known for his role as the antagonist in The Dunwich Horror but has played a role in many other Cthulhu Mythos stories. Sometimes as a being invoked for spells, others as a monster trying to enter reality, and a few places as a giver of hidden wisdom. TALES OF YOG-SOTHOTH features several stories centered around the creepy deity and its monstrous intelligence. Featuring the work of several Neo-Mythos authors who have already dabbled in the world of cosmic horror. C.T. Phipps (Cthulhu Armageddon), David Niall Wilson (The Call of Distant Shores), David Hambling (Harry Stubbs), Matthew Davenport (Andrew Doran), and David J. West (Let Sleeping Gods Lie). Whether pulpy heroes punching evil cultists, robed assassins hunting unnatural monsters, or rednecks dealing with monsters in their back yard, you won't be disappointed with the results. This book is a follow-up to TALES OF THE AL-AZIF.

    • The Necronomicon was not the first book by H.P. Lovecraft to terrify readers with tales of dark and twisted horrors from beyond. No, the Al-Azif, or Book of the Insect, is the first work that told mankind of Cthulhu, Azathoth, and other terrors. Indeed, it was the book that inspired "The Mad Arab" Abdul Al-Hazred to write its more famous successor.Join us for a collection of novellas written by some of the best Neo-Lovecraftian authors today: Matthew Davenport (Andrew Doran, The Trials of Obed Marsh), David Hambling (Harry Stubbs, The Dulwich Horror), David J. West (Porter Rockwell, Redneck Eldritch), David Niall Wilson (The Call of Distant Shores), and C. T. Phipps (Cthulhu Armageddon) in telling stories of this mysterious book.Find out where the nightmares began!

      "Look, up in the sky, it's Ultragod!" Superheroes have conquered movies, television, video games, and (of course) the comic book. However, there's still a dearth of fantastic superhero literature out there. Tales of Capes and Cowls is a wonderful collection of nine short stories, novelettes, and a novella about the text-based adventures of superheroes. Inside, you'll find stories about a supervillain recruited to kill Hitler before he wins WW2 using magic, a street level hero out to stop an insane AI, a group of young heroes befriending a powerful wizard, a daring jailbreak, and a 1960s romp with that era's modest heroes! Works by C.T. Phipps (Supervillainy Saga), David Niall Wilson (Hoods), Keith R.E. DeCandido (Super City Cops), Richard Roberts (Please Don't Tell My Parents I'm A Supervillain), and more!

      Darkness has come to Camelot and there are no knights or wizards to save the day. In a last ditch effort to save the Kingdom that his trusted friend had given his life for, Merlin, the former Wizard of Camelot calls upon the Lady of the Lake one final time to beg for one last favor: Protect his offspring. The child that no one knew Merlin had is spirited away by the Lady of the Lake and given to a farming family far from the hunters of Wizard blood. Two generations later, twins Cremont and Dash Farthing are born and Camelot is ruled by the last user of magic. Lord Bonnevist, the last dark wizard, has come to cast his dark power over Merlin's once glorious land. Never having known their heritage, the boys are surprised to discover the truth of who they are. They are thrust into a training in the ways of magic and battle under the tutelage of the Lady of the Lake as she tells them the horrible truth: Bonnevist hunts the wizards and they are the only ones who can stop his dark shadow as he strangles the life from Camelot.
