Why should you read #crimsonthreads? Each book is chocked full about what about horror. Not just scares, gore, and dreadful moments. It tackles the human condition through inhumane circumstances. Horror is where the evil and conflict of daily life becomes a tangible thing we can defeat. Amazon.com/dp/B0BQHBXKSN #horror #horrorbooks #urbanfantasy #darkfantasy

A little heads-up: I've had to start over with a new account. If you're a digital artist/book promoter, I DON'T need your services at this time, so don't email me with the "How's it going?" line. That'll get you blocked. If that means you can't follow me, fine. I'll get by.

The sage Mazorus slapped me savagely about the crown of my skull, "Fool! Do not be deceived by a shapely hip or proud bosom, smiling demons devour the same as snarling demons."

With a terrible plunge it struck the lower part of the column, which crashed to falling shards of stone. But even with the impact, I leaped far out and fell through the empty air full upon the monster's back. The spongy skin yielded and gave beneath my feet, and I drove my sword hilt-deep, dragging it through the pulpy flesh, ripping a horrible yard-long wound, from which oozed a green slime. Then a flip of a cable-like tentacle flicked me from the titan's back and spun me three hundred feet through the air to crash among a cluster of giant trees. The impact must have splintered half the bones in my frame, for when I sought to grasp my sword again and crawl anew to the combat, I could not move hand or foot, could only writhe helplessly with my broken back. But I could see the monster and I knew that I had won, even in defeat. Robert E. Howard, The Valley of the Worm

Them things liked human sacrifices. Had had ’em ages afore, but lost track o’ the upper world arter a time. What they done to the victims it ain’t fer me to say, an’ I guess Obed wa’n’t none too sharp abaout askin’. H.P. Lovecraft, The Shadow Over Innsmouth

Mankind was not absolutely alone among the conscious things of earth, for shapes came out of the dark to visit the faithful few. But these were not the Great Old Ones. No man had ever seen the Old Ones. The carven idol was great Cthulhu, but none might say whether or not the others were precisely like him. H.P. Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu

Even after translating the Aklo the text seemed to be written for minds that operated in ways far different than human. There were allegories of spheres and gates that seemed to have obvious meaning but just beyond comprehension.

"Aye!" Salome's laughter was dagger-edged with hate. "The curse of the kings of Khauran! Aye, they tell the tale in the market-places, with wagging beards and rolling eyes, the pious fools! They tell how the first queen of our line had traffic with a fiend of darkness and bore him a daughter who lives in foul legendry to this day. And thereafter in each century a girl baby was born into the Askhaurian dynasty, with a scarlet half-moon between her breasts, that signified her destiny. Robert E. Howard, A Witch Shall Be Born
