The Nyarlathotep Cycle is a series of Cthulhu Mythos stories by Canadian author Troy Young. It is not to be confused with the short story anthology of the same name compiled by Robert M. Price.
Overview[]
Consisting of twenty short stories collected in three volumes, the Cycle details the battle of humanity against the forces of "The Other", a term given to the creatures of the Cthulhu Mythos by one of the series' main characters, a man named Harjit Singh.
The stories are collected in three books which were released in both physical and digital formats between 2020 and 2021.
