Since the Dawn of Time humankind has expressed itself through the arts - from the earliest cave paintings through to blockbuster movies. Dance, sculpture, music and theatre have informed religious ritual, cultural expression and entertainment throughout history. HP Lovecraft and others developed the traditional literary ghost tale into a new format - Cosmic Horror. Since his writings, this new Mythos has been developed and expanded by numerous authors. Here, members of the Innsmouth Writing Circle bring you new tales of the weird and the Lovecraftian, all based on the theme of the Arts. From doomed musicians, to magical paintings, from lost Shakespeare plays to unworldly sculptures. Thirteen tales that may well change your perspective on Art and Creation...

Portraits of Terror

Tired of the lies and intrigues of the south, Llorc returns to his northern homeland. He finds a country ravaged by plague and beset by strife. For a fearsome berserker known as the Reiver has seized the Iron Crown and the Eight Clans stand poised on the brink of civil war. Llorc must guide a group of refugees through an increasingly hostile land, where ancient legends come to life and the old ways challenge the new. He may even have to face the gods themselves to save his people! Stirring Sword and Sorcery in the vein of Robert E Howard! "Great books! One of the better Conan-not-Conan series. Poyton does a much better job of nailing the Howardian vibe than most who have tried." Deuce Richardson "Great, pulpy, sword and sorcery fun in the vein of Robert Howard or Fritz Leiber. Looking forward to the next in the series." "Really enjoyed this, it's a good old fashioned sword and sorcery tale." "Plenty of adventure, battle and political intrigue to keep the pace going from start to end. Very enjoyable." - Amazon reviews, Wolf in Shadows

Wolf in the Underworld: The Wolf Who Would be King 4

Mythic tales, legends and lore are part of every human culture. From the quests of Greek myth, to China's Journey to the West, from India's Mahabharata to the Anglo-Saxon Beowulf, our histories resound with the clang of swords, and the struggle of heroes and heroines against dark forces and foul sorcery. In the 20th century, Robert E Howard, among others, pioneered modern mythologies which have become known as Sword and Sorcery. This anthology continues that tradition, with eleven new sizzling S&S tales from the pens of the Innsmouth Writing Circle. The yarns within feature a cast of lucky thieves, avenging barbarians, bold swordswomen, and temple plunderers, not to mention sorcerers, necromancers, priests and a range of horrors that would freeze the blood of all but the bravest warrior. So don your chain mail shirt, hoist high your battle-axe, let loose a war cry, and join us in the days of High Adventure....
