But it wasn’t the lesson the guard wanted to teach me. Down in the bowels of the dungeon, I met a prisoner. He looked dangerous. He looked terrifying. His orange hair with black streak is unreal. Those greenish-yellow eyes so intense. For the first time in my life, I wanted someone. But there is so much wrong with me. I am a bastard and I have premonitions. But there is also so much to him. He is a dreaded shifter – a tiger shifter. And he wants me to run away with him. Author's Note: Indented for 18+ due to the steamy content.

    Think of what you’ve just read.” Lovecraftian stories are the bread and butter of the true horror fan. During his lifetime, Lovecraft himself encouraged other writers to develop stories in the vein we now call Lovecraftian: horror, based around the idea that Earth had been colonized by malign aliens in the remote past, long before mankind arose and became civilized, who eventually became worshipped and feared as evil Gods by their human servitors. Eventually these aliens had been “banished” to another dimensional limbo by a benign Elder Race, but might one day return to reclaim the Earth “when the stars are right.” That deep seated unease threads through this collection of Richard.
