17th-century France: A place of heroes, villains... and abominations.

Strange things are lurking in the shadows and catacombs of Paris. The forests around the City Of Light teem with strange creatures and furtive cultists. A once pious nation stands on the brink of disaster as entities older than time begin to stir. The stars are right and plots have been set in motion, it is down to a heroic few to save the world from madness and destruction.

Join the heroic escapades of the King's Musketeers and their allies as they attempt to foil not just the plots of the dastardly Cardinal Richelieu and Milady de Winter but the insidious machinations of the Great Old Ones.

It's All For One and One For All as the d'Artagnan Romances of Alexandre Dumas collide with the expanded Cthulhu mythos of H.P. Lovecraft and his disciples in this anthology of cosmic horror adventure!

About the author

Tim Mendees

83 books45 followers
Tim Mendees is a horror writer from Macclesfield in the North-West of England that specialises in cosmic horror and weird fiction. A lifelong fan of classic weird tales, Tim set out to bring the pulp horror of yesteryear into the 21st Century and give it a distinctly British flavour. His work has been described as the love-child of H.P. Lovecraft and P.G. Wodehouse and is often peppered with a wry sense of humour that acts as a counterpoint to the unnerving, and often disturbing, narratives.
Tim has had over eighty published short stories and novelettes in anthologies and magazines with publishers all over the world. He also has five novellas and a short story collection on sale with more coming soon.
When he is not arguing with the spellchecker, Tim is a goth DJ, crustacean and cephalopod enthusiast, and the presenter of a popular web series of live video readings of his material and interviews with fellow authors. Tim is also a co-host of the Innsmouth Book Club podcast. He currently lives in Brighton & Hove with his pet crab, Gerald, and an army of stuffed octopods.

This was an interesting anthology. I love Cthulhu stuff but like most things some stories were excellent, some stories were great and some stories were horrible.

Probably the worst cover I've seen in a long time, which is a shame as the stories inside are fun, fun, fun!
