Sword and sorcery in the aeon of Cthulhu Rising!'The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.'So saith Lovecraft.Picture a future Earth, a savage world where science is jettisoned in favour of primitive superstition, where technology has become the idol of a new religion. A world where the truth of Cthulhu has been revealed, where a lunatic humanity has discovered its true insignificance-the punchline in a cosmic joke. A new dark age has descended upon a species that has learnt too much. Science and superstition and the sorcery of the Mad Arab create a world where only the strong survive, and barbarian warriors battle for existence in a bleak and pitiless universe...

Wicked GardensWhat a wicked place indeed.Explore it, if you will.Many stories of sheer horror.Each room, another portal to hell.Each occupant, another soul to claim.- D.S. Scott

??several towns of the dead almost forgotten that force the predestined researchers to meet supernatural beings, an alternate African-like/African-inspired setting full of fabled treasures, unusual colorful fruit whose healing properties are so respected they would easily convince desperate people to take them, and many more tales of strange, perilous creatures who inhabit interesting and characteristic worlds full of strange plants and trees, where experience, readiness and personal skills make the difference between life and death."

Weapons of power can be double edged. For every enchanted blade there is a cursed sword. The warrior who wields one of these weapons will triumph against foe after foe, and yet the blade may be his own downfall. Tyrfing, forged by dwarfs under duress, had three curses to leaven its three virtues. Kullervo used the talking sword of the god Ukko to slay all his foes, and yet in the end it was with that blade that the troubled hero took his own life. Elric's sentient blade Stormbringer drank the blood and souls of its victims in return for victory in the fight, but it was an uneasy, Faustian pact between swordsman and sword, ending in tragedy... -Gavin Chappell

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.

Sword wielding barbarians wander the opulent Southlands, battling warriors and wizards in decadent cities of wealth, intrigue and sorcery; cruel warlords, sinister magicians, beautiful princesses, thieves, rogues and pirates are brought into stark relief by a lush, vivid backdrop of jungles and mountains, oceans and deserts tainted with cosmic evil from the outer darkness... For a second time we invite you to a "purple and golden and crimson universe where anything can happen-except the tedious." - Gavin Chappell

In a distant future, the Galactic Empire stretches from one end of the Milky Way to the other. Its capital lies on a soulless, metallic world-city close to Galactic Center, its fortress planets guard every spiral arm. At its heart, its citizens dwell in sybaritic indulgence, their lives eased by luxuries imported from the outer worlds whose populations toil as slaves beneath the stinging electro-lash of the overseers. For a million years the Empire has been expanding, but its star cruisers can venture no further until a spacedrive is invented that can cross the unimaginable gulfs between this galaxy and Andromeda. Now the Empire begins to turn inward. The ensuing revolt will set the Galaxy at war. Does this spell the end of Empire? When it is gone, what will take its place? Freedom? Or a tyranny far worse? For now, all the citizens of the galaxy can do is prepare themselves for the FALL OF THE GALACTIC EMPIRE...

Swords against Cthulhu, an anthology of sword and sorcery/Cthulhu Mythos crossovers. Mighty thewed barbarians battle alien wizardry and cosmic terror in a blind, unreasoning universe where only the strong survive.

We have incoming... From Gavin Chappell, editor-in-chief of imprint Rogue Planet Press and editor E.S. Wynn comes the ultimate space opera anthology, full of stories of rebellion, ambition and supersonic, hyperbolic aerial dogfights that will leave you shaken and stirred by both G-force and unashamed conflict.
