Bøger af Glynn Owen Barrass

For most The King in Yellow is a largely forgotten tome written by a rarely discussed author. Except people on both sides of an eternal battle for good and evil have not forgotten the book and the author is discussed often, especially in the shadows cast by death and depravity. A book that carries risks with it for any who read it...insanity...death...or worse. The risk to the agents of the secret government department The Yellow Cross is all too real. It is a danger that deranges minds, destroys lives, warps reality.One such mind belongs to Rebecca Thale, a woman who read The King in Yellow and was never the same again. Her path of murder and destruction attracted the attention of The Yellow Cross, agents Ashton and Phillips in particular. Two of the department's top investigators, they undertake a journey of horror and self discovery that takes them across England and dimensions both deadly and unknown, as they unravel the mysteries of the terrifying entity known as The King in Yellow. Love, murder, insanity, betrayal await all who read SWORDS AGAINST THE SNAKES by Glynn Owen Barrass. From Pro Se Productions.

The Cthulhu Mythos has always been home to investigators, those brave men and women pursuing its mysteries and horrors while trying to save humanity, and their own hides, from madness and death. The classic, Hard-Boiled Private Investigator, struggling with his own inner demons, has to fight to keep unimaginable evils at bay armed with a gun, violence, and a bottle of liquor to ease the pain. Hard-Boiled detectives and the Cthulhu Mythos were made for each other, and the talented team of Barrass and Shiflet offer a brilliant fusion of Mythos and Hard-Boiled Noir detective fiction, in the vein of Lovecraft's classic "e;The Horror at Red Hook"e; and C.J. Henderson's "e;You Can't Take it with You."e;In these eight stories, detectives Barnes and Towers, with the help of fisticuffs, shot glasses and dames, take on together the terrors of H.P. Lovecraft's nightmares. Here you will meet old Cthulhu Mythos antagonists in new, deadly situations, spend time travelling through Innsmouth, Dunwich and Arkham, visit alien dimensions, and much, much more!
