This is a solid novel of the good old Satanist menace variety. I like it rather more the second time around. The protagonist has a dysfunctional love life, and is in therapy for her issues. We come to realise that there is something a little off about her as the novel goes along, and she [...]

“”You’ve got some sort of wild man!” Lycon blurted with first glance. “Nonsense!” Vonones snorted. “Look at the tiny scales, those talons! There may be a race somewhere with blue skin, but this thing’s no more human than a mandrill is. The Numidians called it a lizard-ape in their tongue—a sauropithecus.” After that first startled [...]

Dystopian American Eighties geekout. As a megarich billionaire game designer leaves his entire massive fortune to the person that can solve a puzzle quest he has left behind post-mortem.

Swords glimmered up the pass Fringing the grim dark mass. There was blood on the grass; Red blood But the flood Far below lumbered on to the east and the dawn— When all men are gone.

Towers reel as they burst asunder, Streets run red in the butchered town; Standards fall and the lines go under, And the iron horsemen ride me down. Out of the strangling dusts that blind me Let me ride for my hour is nigh, From the walls that stifle, the hoofs that grind me, To the [...]

The day that towers, sapphire kissed, Reeled to a Mongol sword that hissed, And broke the silver sighing mist That parted doom from Nisapur.

From the dim red dawn of Creation, From the fogs of timeless time Came we, the first great nation, First on the upward climb. Savage, untaught, unknowing, Groping through primitive night, Yet faintly catching the glowing, The hint of the coming Light. Ranging the lands untraveled, Building our land-marks of stone. Vaguely grasping at glory, [...]

Bab-ilu’s women gazed upon our spears, And roses flung, and sang to see us ride. We built a glory for the marching years And starred our throne with silver nails of pride. Our horses’ hoofs were shod with brazen fears: We laved our hands in blood and iron tears, And laughed to hear how shackled [...]
Now in the gloom the pulsing drums repeat, And all the night is filled with evil sound; I hear the throbbing on inhuman feet On marble stairs that silence locks around. I see black temples loom against the night, With tentacles like serpents writhed afar, And waving in a dusky dragon light Great moths whose [...]

There’s a bell that hangs in a hidden cave Under the heathered hills That knew the tramp of the Roman feet And the clash of the Pictish bills. It has not rung for a thousand years, To waken the sleeping trolls, But God defend the sons of men When the bell of the Morni tolls. [...]

Hinged in the brooding west a black sun hung, And Titan shadows barred the dying world.

Above unholy fires red wings unfurled— Gray [...]
