Cthulhu Mythos

[close] Arkham, Massachusetts. Founded in 1666 by Roger Phelps and William Derleth just north of Boston on the shore of the Miskatonic River, from which the local University got its name, Arkham has always been the center of strange and unusual happenings. The name itself comes from the local native dialect denoting the negative spiritual activity which haunts the Western Hills. Cults litter the town's pasts, along with the mysterious disappearance of the Native America tribe - dubbed the Miskatonics - whose origin is unknown, give the town an eerie and uncanny air to it. Stranger still, once one enters Arkahm city limits, one almost never seems to be able to leave. There is always something keeping them here. In truth, demons, children of the Great Old Ones from beyond the stars, have always made this town their home. They have lied in wait for the return of their overlords, and they will not have to wait much longer, for soon, the stars will be right. Yog-Sothoth have mercy on us all!

[close] The Prophet had died, before finishing one final story. Unlike his other works, this one, this one would had held the truth, the full truth, the Fate of Man, of Earth, the Future. Such a shame it was left unfinished. It would have told them what do do when the Old Ones came, they all just hid and ran, and now....the Gods take back the Earth. He awakes from His sleeping temple in the sea, She returns with Her thousand young, He crawls over the ground once more, They have come back, and are here to stay. May Yog-Sothoth have mercy upon us.

[close] For fans of smutpunk! Smutpunk is a blend of erotica, pulp noir/fantasy/western, existential horror, steampunk, bizzaro, Lovecraftian and classical mythology, and silver- and golden-age comic styles. Exemplified in the writings of Callie Press and Moctezuma Johnson (and an increasing number of other writers). Get on board or get left behind!
