Man vs. the Cthulhu Mythos

“Dixon grabbed his head in agony as the vision flooded his mind—the whirling chaotic swirl that gibbered and howled just beyond the gateway: stars, planets and constellations spinning in insanely rapid combinations, light and darkness attacking each other with supernova intensity, lines of force clashing in galaxy-melting conglomerations of sound. He felt his body somehow separate from him . . . and he fought to maintain sanity, to keep his eyes on the chaos that was beginning to spill from the wedge between our world and the infinite worlds of Nyarlathotep.

Figgs exulted, blood spilling down his lips and chin, flesh half-chewed spraying from his mouth as he danced in the nuclear fire of the end of the world. In the blinding light he saw a figure moving towards him, a black, wavering line of matter that spun in slow helices through the endless, churning cauldron of white fire.

The Worm moved fast — vast chunks of space-time disappeared beneath its approach, atoms screaming as they dissolved, seconds stretching into hours, chains of stars exploding before the path of the Messenger of the Gods. Figgs knelt before it, all spells fleeing his mind, all cantrips and catches meant to imprison the outer god forgotten in the insane joy of the Mask at the approach of its Master.

And then the door began to render itself shut again.”

— “The Spiraling Worm” by David Conyers and John Sunseri

The Spiraling Worm is a collection of seven interconnected tales concerning the adventures of Australian Army intelligence officer Harrison Peel and NSA agent Jack Dixon, in their global battles to halt the horrors of the Cthulhu Mythos destroying the world.

by David Conyers and John Sunseri. cover illustration by David Lee Ingersoll. 320 pages. Trade Paperback, perfect bound.

The ideas and scope are consistently breathtaking. There is plenty in this book to captivate hardcore Cthulhu Mythos fans and those unfamiliar with the work of Lovecraft and his ilk . . . It will probably be the most original and imaginative Australian release this year. While others are rehashing vampires, werewolves, and witches . . . David Conyers and John Sunseri are tackling cosmic horrors -- warts, pseudopods, and all -- and the results are spectacular.
