"Cold Air" is a tongue-in-cheek Cthulhu Mythos short story by author Sean Hoade. It was first published in the first issue of Necronomicum: The Magazine of Weird Erotica in October 2014.
Synopsis[]
When burial plot salesman Phil Howard is seduced by beautiful Cthulhu cultist Jane Doe, she attempts to cast a carnal ritual to summon the essence of her dark god into the man's body. When she realises that the passage in her spellbook requires an actual cadaver and not just someone who has been talked into taking an ice bath, she moves to kill him. Fortunately for Phil, because of his job he knows just where a fresh corpse can be found, and Jane agrees to spare his life on the condition that he help her get her hands on one.
