Return of the Old Ones: Apocalyptic Lovecraftian Horror

The Old Ones were, the Old Ones are, and the Old Ones shall be. That is one of the main ideas behind the cosmic horror H.P. Lovecraft gave to the world, what would later be commonly known as the Cthulhu Mythos. The Old Ones, that ancient evil, dormant but still very much alive, would one day awaken and return to once more lay claim to our world. That cryptic sentence that was penned in the infamous Necronomicon wasn’t a threat, it wasn’t vague enough to be prophecy, it wasn’t even a warning, as there is nothing that can be done to stop or avoid it. No, it was a promise, a certainty that one day these omnipotent, ageless, entities would return. It was only a matter of time before the Stars became Right, and that time is now.Return of the Old Ones tells the tales of those terrible end times. Comprised of three books, this anthology shows what lead up to the Old Ones coming back, what happened on that fateful day when the gates were flung wide, and how the world was forever changed in the aftermath. From stories of personal apocalypses to recounts of epic, but futile, battles, to the bleak desperation that would be mankind’s only inheritance. Return of the Old Ones: it’s coming, be ready.
