For the past 25 years, Will Murray has been contributing to numerous Cthulhu Mythos anthologies, producing a number of exceptional stories, many dealing with the Cryptic Events Evaluation Section of the National Reconnaissance Office, am ultra-secret organization dedicated to countering occult threats from beyond the planet Earth.
Now Murray has collected 10 of his most renowned stories in a new release in his acclaimed Wild Adventures series of books, The Wild Adventures of Cthulhu!
Of course, dread Cthulhu is not the star of this series. These tales concern the efforts of the Great Old Ones created by the immortal H.P. Lovecraft to undermine our sanity and ravage our planet in their ongoing effort to clear the earth of humankind and make our world their own.
Of this collection, Murray says, “Ever since I released The Wild Adventures of Sherlock Holmes in 2021, I realized there was interest in tales I’ve have written for various out-of-print anthologies. So I’ve collected what I consider to be the best of them in one volume. These are not disconnected short stories and novelettes. Many relate to one another to form a larger meta-narrative exploring what might happen if Lovecraft’s Elder Gods––Azathoth, Nyarlathotep, Yog-Sothoth and other of their evil ilk––finally succeed in gaining a toe-hold in our reality, and how the Cryptic Events team struggles to hold back Ultimate Night.”
Amazon reviewers are praising this collection:
“The stories all have the feel of the Lovecraft mythos, but are set in the 21st century. Murray updates some things , but maintains the flavor of the old Cthulhu yarns. The stories are hard hitting, with elements of astrology, tarot, new heroes and locations blended into an old time, pulpy horror adventure. Don’t miss this one.”
“These stories are guaranteed to scare the heck out of you! It’s certainly the scariest collection I’ve read in years!”
