FUNGI FROM YUGGOTH

The Black Tome of Alsophocus
THE BLACK TOME OF ALSOPHOCUS
In 1933, H.P. Lovecraft began writing The Book, an apparent attempt to turn his poem cycle Fungi from Yuggoth into a short story. He abandoned the project and never finished it. Forty years later in a posthumous collaboration, Martin S. Warnes tired to complete the story. The result is The Black Tome of Alsophocus—which you can read here!

SIMON OF GITTA

Nimrod of Babel
THE BLADE OF THE SLAYER
(Alternate Version)
Richard Tierney wrote two versions of this story. Only one is in our Sorcery Against Caesar anthology, where the Slayer is revealed to be Karl Edward Wagner’s hero Kane. In the other version (which can only be read here), the Slayer’s true identity is different, a mytho-historical character from ancient legend. Who? You’ll have to read to find out!
