More Cthulhu and Camelot in Shadows Over Avalon (Volume Two)


SHADOWS OVER AVALON (VOLUME 2)

Now available as an ebook (for $5.99 USD) from 18th Wall Productions at this link.

CATEGORIES: Arthurian, Cthulhu Mythos, Fantasy, Horror

AWARD-WINNING CURATOR NICOLE PETIT PRESENTS THE SECOND VOLUME OF THE DARK FANTASY COLLISION BETWEEN THE CTHULHU MYTHOS AND ARTHURIAN LEGEND.

When King Arthur pulled the sword from the stone, he established more than a nation. He established an ideal. Where righteousness and learning could thrive. Where valiant knights battled evil. Camelot, the incorruptible dream.

From beyond the stars and before time, something stirs. Spoken of in the Necronomicon, eldritch gods make their influence known. Awakened by loathsome constellations, they arise from sea-locked tombs and turn men’s minds from outer spheres. The Mythos, the corrupting nightmare.

Tonight, the stars are right. As Uther Pendragon’s Britain is scorched by the unrelenting sun, the waking world’s salvation must be found in the Dreamlands. A Roman Yog Sothoth cult holds secret sway, and if it can be solved, Merlin’s riddle is the key to their defeat. Relics from Carcosa are brought to Camelot, bleeding the line between the world that is and the world that could be. How knights such as Pellinore, Galahad, and Calogrenant respond will save or damn all things.

Shadows Over Avalon: Volume Two features a novella by Jon Black and stories by Lukasz Furmaniak, Georgia Cook, C.L. Werner, Kara Dennison, and Sophie Iles.

PURCHASERS ON 18THWALL.COM RECEIVE THE BOOK IN PDF, MOBI/KINDLE, & EPUB.

Monster CFPs

I've just uploaded a bunch of calls for papers on monsters and the supernatural to the Popular Preternaturaliana site. Many seem amendable to Arthurian and/or medieval subjects. The blog can be accessed at http://popularpreternaturaliana.blogspot.com/.

Alliance/Blog Upates August 2013

As posted to the main blog:

Effective August 2013, the Alliance for the Promotion of Research on the Villains of the Matter of Britain has been absorbed by the revived Society for Arthurian Popular Culture Studies (founded 2000) and the resulting organization named The Alliance for the Promotion of Research on the Matter of Britain. The new group will function for the remainder of 2013 as an affiliate of The Virtual Society for the Study of Popular Culture and the Middle Ages and be based at the King Arthur Forever website at KingArthurForever.org. This site will be maintained as time permits.

Further details can be found on King Arthur Forever at http://kingarthurforever.blogspot.com/2013/08/king-arhur-forever-reborn.html.
