The old gods are dead ... The older gods have returned! Before the American master of the macabre H. P. Lovecraft there was the Welsh wizard of the weird Arthur Machen, who filled his pages with tales of ancient evil. Now, completing the circle, comes a collection of original tales from the land of Machen following in the footsteps of Lovecraft and his uncanny creations. In What Others Hear by John Llewellyn Probert, a musician comes to rural Wales to convalesce in peace. But what terrible secrets hide behind the notes of the music he so loves? Adrian Chamberlin shows us that seemingly innocent old traditions can conceal sinister intentions when dark forces use them to deadly ends in Stranger Crossings. In Charles Black's tale, a brilliant Welsh scholar finds the price of knowledge can cost you everything when he discovers the true purpose of that dreaded tome The Necronomicon. And six more Lovecraftian tales of the otherworldly. TABLE OF CONTENTS Foreword by S. T. Joshi Introduction by Mark Howard Jones & Steve Upham What Others Hear by John Llewellyn Probert The Bicycle-Centaur by Rhys Hughes The Cawl of Cthulhu by Bob Lock Pilgrimage by Mark Howard Jones Song of Summoning by Brian Willis The Necronomicon by Charles Black Un-Dhu-Milhuk Would by Liam Davies Periphery by Paul Lewis Stranger Crossings by Adrian Chamberlin

Yig, known as the Serpent God, is older than humanity, and Yig’s reptilian Children once ruled the Earth.

Those who stumble on their secrets are in deadly danger…but only they can prevent the return of our darkest fears. Join us for a collection of novellas from some modern masters of Neo-Lovecraftian fiction: Peter Rawlik (Reanimator, The Weird Company), Matthew Davenport (Andrew Doran, The Trials of Obed Marsh), David Hambling (Harry Stubbs, The Dulwich Horror), and Mark Howard Jones (Cthulhu Cymraeg) telling stories of Yig’s deadly machinations. Watch the plot unfold, from the 1920s to the present day through four chilling episodes!
