Hills and Hollows: Hymns in the Key of Cthulhu

The Cthulhu Mythos. A wellspring of horror and the macabre since its first elements were introduced by H.P. Lovecraft a century ago, the Mythos encompasses a vast array of creatures, settings and styles explored and expanded to this day. Hills and Hollows continues that exploration and expansion with seven brand new Mythos tales, each steeped in the atmospheric horror fans of the genre have grown to love. Shadows in Byzantium: By the waning days of the sixth century CE the Western Empire has collapsed in anarchy and ruin. The Eastern Empire maintains tenuous peace from its seat in Constantinople, but all is not what it seems… A Perfect Darkness: A grim future finds humankind forced to look to deep space to find enough water to survive. However, prospectors on the dwarf planet Ceres find something else entirely. The Ransom Diary: Things go from bad to worse for a group of young friends as they discover that evil seldom dies…it just goes to ground. Just Another Tuesday: Slow news day? Some eldritch Mythos action will spice things right up! Non-Euclidian: Now confined to a mental asylum, a young man shares an unfolding story of suspense, obsession, and a consuming search for forbidden knowledge. Room 120: A grizzled detective becomes embroiled in a murder case that carries curious echoes from another death thirty years prior. Now his memories are not all that haunt him… Pearls Before Swine: When a rural pig farmer suddenly begins predicting the future with eerily concise detail, a veteran foe of the Mythos must forge strange alliances to save all of humanity.
