EOM: Equal Opportunity Madness

by Michelle Stengel

A collection of short fiction set in the Mythos genre with diverse protagonists. Less In the depths of the cosmos there is madness to be found and there are stories to be told...The Elder Gods, Cthulhu, Nyarlethotep, and the like have a taste for fear, for madness, for flesh... But over the years they have grown bored with the taste of the standard straight, white male so often portrayed in the tales of the Mythos. Like a human being with a hankering for Thai after a steady diet of steak and potatoes, the Gods of the Mythos are craving something different...An African Igbo head man defends his tribe against eldritch incursion with the help of his own Gods...A couple of English debutantes throw epic parties while keeping the otherworldly at bay...A deeply scarred man gathers strength from Sobek, the Egyptian God who claimed him young, as he stands against the horrors shoulder to shoulder with a Priestess of Bast...A Jewish lesbian rides into town to save it from the Unspeakable, with a little help from her girlfriend and her rich heritage...All this and more await you in these pages.
