Swords Against Cthulhu II: Hyperborean Nights is an anthology of Lovecraftian fiction focused on the sword-and-sorcery genre.
Overview[]
“ | IN THE eldritch writings of Ec’h Pi El we learn that the land of Lomar, first chronicled by that aeons-dead author, lay contiguous in time and space to Ancient Hyperborea, sinister kingdom of the North described in the story cycles of the prophet Klarkash Ton. Twin lands beyond the Arctic Circle, home to a cyclopean civilisation long ground to dust by the advancing glaciers, they flourished in blasphemously, inconceivably ancient days when Lemuria and Hyboria and Mu were but a dream… Against this background of savage tribes and more savage gods dwell sorcerers, warriors, rogues and thieves, whose brutal adventures are chronicled by the spiritual heirs of Ec’h Pi El and Klarkash Ton in Rogue Planet Press’ new anthology, Swords against Cthulhu II: Hyperborean Nights. |
