Just finished "Necropolis Gemstone" by John C. Hocking. Really enjoyed it. For some reason, it's pacing reminded me of the Indiana Jones movies. It was cinematic in its plot beats. I really liked the way the group of adventurers were at odds with eachother, were thrown together in tentative alliance. That changed things, made it really fascinating.

Started John C. Hocking's, "Necromancer's Gemstone."

Finished J. Thomas Howard's story. It was the shortest in the anthology so far. It's really good, a gateway fantasy vaguel reminiscent of Thomas Covenant (in terms of concept, not style). Loved the final scenes.

Now reading Seth Lindberg's, "One Hive, Two Queens."

"The Place of Unutterable Names" by Adrian Cole was an excellent Cthulhu mythos pastiche. It features the Pleateu of Leng and a variety of cosmic horror spectacles.

The Old Serpent is helping Akram and his compatriots. 🤓☕️📚

Started David C. Smith's, "Shadow of the Serpent."
