    Summary

    Something crunched on the stone behind him. Avery whipped around, hand already going for a weapon. He was met with the point of a blade at his jugular. A figure clad in golden armor studied him carefully from under the shadow of their helmet. Slowly, they tilted their head. 

    With their other hand, they lifted a finger to where their mouth should be and shushed him.

    OR

    Avery is intent to learn more about that book and its author. Unfortunately, wanting to know how to crack the cipher becomes needing to know how to care for a half-mad soldier and avoid infinite knowledge--at least, he's pretty sure that's what's happening.

    Summary

    Even with his stores of near-infinite knowledge, D3rlord3 was not prepared for the sight that awaited him when he answered his front door:

    On his doorstep stood a scrappy-looking young man in a Hawaiian shirt, cargo shorts, and a beaming smile. In his hand was D3rlord3’s hastily-written book.

    The man, still smiling, tilted his head and asked, “Did you write this?”

    Summary

    When he wakes up in a clean bed in what he later will learn is a sanatorium, he finds a pair of flintlocks and a rose quartz rosary lying on the night stand next to him, meaning they're probably his.

    Not that he has the slightest idea where he is, or how he got here in first place.

    As he tries to gather himself, a group of people wearing unfamiliar faces enters the room. They crowd around his bed and ask questions, but when he has no answers it is them who tell him that he was lost to them for nigh half a year, dead and buried, mourned, and now brought back to life by a miracle of the Light.

    They tell him this place is called the Hamlet, and that his own name is Dismas.

    Summary

    Inspired by Lovecraft’s “The Thing at the Doorstep”, John has gained a new body, and tried to settle into an investigative practice with Arthur back in Arkham. However, he quickly finds that physical humanity suits him poorly, and longs for things to go back to the way they were. When he’s approached by someone who claims to also be inhuman in the same way he once was (and maybe still is) John finds a friend and confidant in the struggles he’s not brave enough to share with Arthur. But as his friend’s true nature is revealed and secrets from all parties become uncovered, John quickly realizes that his new friend is more dangerous than he could have ever imagined.

    Summary

    In the dead of Antarctic winter, a man and his mysterious cargo arrive at NSF Outpost #32. His name is Dr. Daniel Cain, and he's just survived a massacre he attributes to a monster.

    Two days earlier, Herbert West and his partner Cain re-animate a victim of the Miskatonic Antarctic Research Expedition to investigate a grisly attack. They learn that there's something with them on the ice—and it comes from a place no human has been before.

    A Re-Animator flavored tribute to The Thing and At the Mountains of Madness.
