About This Title:
The
Colour Out of Darkness (Novella #17)
by John Pelan
In his classic story "The Call of Cthulhu" H.P. Lovecraft wrote:
"The cult would never die till the stars came right again, and the secret
priests would take great Cthulhu from His tomb to revive His subjects and resume
His rule of earth. The time would be easy to know, for then mankind would have
become as the Great Old Ones; free and wild and beyond good and evil, with laws
and morals thrown aside and all men shouting and killing and revelling in joy.
Then the liberated Old Ones would teach them new ways to shout and kill and
revel and enjoy themselves, and all the earth would flame with a holocaust of
ecstasy and freedom."
Lovecraft was right, though he only glimpsed a tiny sliver of the true horror
that governs the secret history of the world. The truth is much, much worse
as several young people are about to discover. The miracle drug "Essence"
opens doors of perception hitherto undreamed of, but there's a heavy price to
paid. The price is to belong body and soul to nameless horrors that were old
when the earth was young. Nobody rides for free, and damn few get out alive…
