About the Author

Byron Craft started out writing screenplays, moved on to authoring articles for several magazines and finally evolved his writing style into exciting, sci-fi, fantasy, horror novels.Cthulhu's Minions is a novelette and provides a fun quick read and a chance to get the feel of how Byron Craft spins his tales and is the first in The Arkham Detective Series. Also available on Amazon are the first three of Craft's planned five part Cthulhu Mythos series.  Byron Craft's first novel "The CRY of CTHULHU," initially released under the title "The Alchemist's Notebook," was the reincarnation and expansion of one of his most memorable screenplays. "SHOGGOTH" is Craft's second novel in the series that reflects the influence of H.P Lovecraft and SHOGGOTH 2: RISE OF THE ELDERS returns the reader to the tunnels to attempt to save humankind from extinction. Craft demonstrates he is as capable a novelist as scriptwriter. Craft's stories have all the ingredients of a classic Lovecraft tale, with some imaginative additions.
