Cthelvis and Others

Jonas Bell Presents "The King in Yellow" - A cursed play that may be a doorway to another reality or something far worse.

Sanitarium - The dark secret of the forgotten patients locked away in the bowels of a seaside asylum.

Mission to Yuggoth on the Rim - A desperate mission to deliver an untested weapon to the edge of the solar system.

Crouching Tsathoggua, Hidden Dagon - A martial arts tournament that will determine the fate of humanity.

Black Goat of the Hundred Acre Wood - An eerie fairy tale featuring a character with a passing resemblance to a certain little yellow bear.

Cthelvis - And of course, the King of Rock n' Roll.

About the Author

James Pratt likes to create realistically flawed but basically decent characters and have them cross paths with serial killer angels, redneck vampires, slithering horrors from other dimensions, and the end of the world. He also likes to write stories that demonstrate how the ever-present darkness threatening to wash over the world like a wave of endless night can be held back with a little courage and a big shotgun (assuming one hasn't already used both barrels, of course). Some take place in the distant past, others in the far future, and still others somewhere between eight minutes ago and twelve minutes from now. Whether sci-fi, adventure, or straight-out horror, the running theme is that the universe is very, very big and we are very, very small.
