Into the Hive of Saarlathesh

by Johnny Toxin

Up until recently, Luke Thornton lived a pretty uneventful existence. His biggest concern was rolling out of bed in time for his shift at the comic book store, and he still lived in the same town he grew up in, with no desire to get a real job or leave. Goals and aspirations were long-forgotten, replaced by a life of dull comfort.

But Luke Thornton’s plans for life are not what matter in this story—what matters are life’s plans for Luke Thornton.

Into the Hive of Saarlathesh is the uniquely told story of how, through a series of mysterious events and paranormal encounters, Luke is dragged into a quest for knowledge that pits him against relentless, power-hungry forces determined to break him. Cleverly combining elements of comedy with horror, the story follows Luke from his initial discovery of a ghost in his home, through dealings with enigmatic strangers, to confrontations with powerful forces more sinister, dark, and deadly than any of us could dare imagine.

Sure to appeal to fans of H. P. Lovecraft, David Wong, and Neil Gaiman, Into the Hive of Saarlathesh will tickle your funny bone on one page, dangle you from a cliff on another, and hold your interest throughout.
