"Cassilda’s Song is a collection of weird fiction and horror stories based on the King in Yellow Mythos created by Robert W. Chambers—entirely authored by women. There are no pretenders here. The Daughters of the Yellow Sign, each a titan of unmasked fire in their own right, have parted the curtains. From Hali’s deeps and Carcosa’s gloomy balconies and Styx-black towers, come their lamentations and rage and the consequences of intrigues and follies born in Oblivion. Run into their embrace. Their carriages wait to take you from shadowed rooms and cobble¬stones to The Place Where the Black Stars Hang."

MOB Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) Another new title from Chaosium: Legacy of the Reanimator: The Chronicles of Dr Herbert West The Legacy of the Reanimator collects the original serialized H.P. Lovecraft story, “Herbert West—Reanimator” along with its two sequels and a bevy of short stories from some of the most renowned Lovecraftian writers. Reanimation. The process of bringing life to that which is dead. It is well known that the tow-headed fiend Herbert West came close to perfecting the process within his lifetime. It is also well known that the reanimated limbs, parts, and minions that he had created over the years eventually came back to haunt him—and dismember his body. However, Herbert West didn’t die. Well…yes he did. The problem is he didn’t stay dead. He was brought back in two round robins edited by Robert M. Price. The first was Herbert West-Reanimated followed by Herbert West—Reincarnated. These were published in old issues of Crypt of Cthulhu, and are terribly hard to get a hold of…until now. Details of Herbert West’s life from childhood to death—and beyond can be found within The Legacy of the Reanimator.

MOB Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) And another new title from Chaosium: Edge of Sundown, Tales of Horror of the Wild West The western-horror story is far older than what most of us would even consider “the west”. For generations the American Indians told dark tales of their own, of spider women, skin-walkers, cannibals, witches, and thunderbirds. When white men ventured into the west, they learned some of these nightmarish stories from the natives—and they brought or created their own as well: tales told around campfires of mournful ghosts and vengeful spirits and terrible monsters native to the wild new land west of the Mississippi. That’s where Edge of Sundown comes in. This collection brings tales that visit the darker regions of the west, the places steeped in myth, legend, and blood. Meet the men and women who lived there—the monsters within and without. Make no mistake, there are more than a few gun-throwing hardcases in these stories, but by and large our protagonists are ordinary folks caught up in very extraordinary circumstances. Most importantly, this is an anthology of western-HORROR tales, not western-fantasy. No tall tales here, no wink-and-a-nudge-as-it’s-all-good-fun safe betting. We’re looking to give you the creeps, fair and square, no fooling around. So right about now you should be checking to make sure your guns are loaded, that your holster is oiled, and you’ve got your hat cinched on tight.

MOB Posted December 11, 2015 Author Share Posted December 11, 2015 (edited) Another new title from Chaosium: Mark of the Beast: A Collection of Werewolf Stories Herein are gathered a number of tales portraying the glorious and bestial nature of the werewolf. There are horror, sci-fi, Gothic, cyber, fairy tale and fantasy stories and poems that embrace the essence of the beast, told by an assortment of scribes with diverse styles and voices. Every civilization has some story or legend of creatures half man and half beast. Indigenous native peoples around the world held beliefs about shamans and witch doctors who could transform themselves into animals. The ancient Egyptians worshiped a whole pantheon of animal-headed gods. The superstitious folk of medieval Europe believed that a witch or a gypsy could curse a man to become a werewolf by night. Pacific islanders told tales of men changing into sharks. Certain African peoples feared leopard men. Coming from all over the world and from every culture, werebeast legends naturally vary. Among the ways said to become a werewolf include being bitten by a werewolf, being bitten by a normal wolf, a potion or curse from a gypsy or a witch, a family curse, a genetic disorder, drinking rainwater from the paw print of a wolf, wearing an enchanted pelt made from wolfskin, through a pact with Satan or a demon, through the act of cannibalism, etc. Some werewolves have no memory or control over their change while others do. Some change only by the light of a full moon while others can change at any time. Some werewolves look like normal wolves, some look like giant wolves, and still others are mutant man-beasts. Some are solitary and some live and hunt in packs or clans. Now the Full Harvest Moon is rising and the soft wail of the autumnal wind begins...

GianniVacca Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Edge of Sundown is excellent. I've been really impressed. I wasn't particularly convinced by the Wild West/horror mix [I didn't like the Deadlands role-playing game] but all of the stories except about 3 or 4 of them are like mini-novels in their own right, in which you care for the characters and what is happening to them. Most of the time, I wished I could know more about the characters' past; they were so full of hints and unlike the one-dimensional and Manichaean characters you have in your run-of-the-mill fantasy fiction. I heartily recommend the book. 1 Quote 「天朝大國」，https://rpggeek.com/rpgitem/92874/celestial-empire 很有意思: http://celestialempire.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox01313 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Been impressed with the previous Chaosium fiction line & these (esp. Edge of Sundown) sound like they will be a lot of fun to read. And considering the size of the westerns in fiction & horror in fiction, it's sad that we don't have more weird west horror out there to read as it's a gold mine of possible stories.
