Book Description

The Exciting Prequel to Lovecraft's Shadow Over Innsmouth! Innsmouth was a corrupted and fallen town, consumed by its greed and controlled by the Esoteric Order of Dagon. In 1928, the Federal Government destroyed Innsmouth and the nearby Devil Reef based on claims made by a man who had visited the town. Four years after the mysterious disappearance of Robert Olmstead, the man who sent the FBI to Innsmouth, his closest friend has discovered new evidence into the reality of what Innsmouth truly was: He has found the Journal of Captain Obed Marsh. The journal paints an intense scene of a vibrant town and how it takes only one man's good intentions to pave the way to Hell itself. Or in this case...to Y'ha-nthlei. What can test a man so intensely as to break him from his righteous path? Only the journal can shed light on that. These are the Trials of Obed Marsh.

Nevertheless, the protagonist of this story, a traveler in search of his family origins, is attracted to the town and decides to visit it on his way to his final destination. But, to his misfortune, he is forced to spend the night in the town. Will he be prepared to learn the town's macabre secrets?

Darkness has come to Camelot and there are no knights or wizards to save the day. In a last ditch effort to save the Kingdom that his trusted friend had given his life for, Merlin, the former Wizard of Camelot calls upon the Lady of the Lake one final time to beg for one last favor: Protect his offspring. The child that no one knew Merlin had is spirited away by the Lady of the Lake and given to a farming family far from the hunters of Wizard blood. Two generations later, twins Cremont and Dash Farthing are born and Camelot is ruled by the last user of magic. Lord Bonnevist, the last dark wizard, has come to cast his dark power over Merlin’s once glorious land. Never having known their heritage, the boys are surprised to discover the truth of who they are. They are thrust into a training in the ways of magic and battle under the tutelage of the Lady of the Lake as she tells them the horrible truth: Bonnevist hunts the wizards and they are the only ones who can stop his dark shadow as he strangles the life from Camelot.

Book Description

"Look, up in the sky, it's Ultragod!" Superheroes have conquered movies, television, video games, and (of course) the comic book.

Tales of Capes of Cowls is a wonderful collection of nine short stories, novelettes, and a novella about the text-based adventures of superheroes. Inside, you'll find stories about a supervillain recruited to kill Hitler before he wins WW2 using magic, a street level hero out to stop an insane AI, a group of young heroes befriending a powerful wizard, a daring jailbreak, and a 1960s romp with that era's modest heroes! Works by C.T. Phipps (Supervillainy Saga), David Niall Wilson (Hoods), Keith R.E. DeCandido (Super City Cops), Richard Roberts (Please Don't Tell My Parents I'm A Supervillain), and more!
