In a lonely house in the swamps, a man meets a heartbreaking monster... Something ancient, disgusting; something that slithers across barren plains and galaxies beyond our universe... A vicious, hungry nightmare. It cannot be satiated until it swallows generation after generation in its maw of madness. Men. Women. Even children. With wide, burning eyes and drool running down his chin. They considered Goody Maple to be the reason for their dirty, hungry, unhappy lives. It doesn't matter whether she was a witch or not. She was just a symbolic lamb to be burned. But who gets the well-cooked witch flesh? It was a simple job for a retired Marine. Checkpoint of the Defense Research Center. They just studied ancient forbidden tomes of secret knowledge on vanished religions and forgotten gods. Their goal is to summon a godless, disgusting nightmare from the very basements of reality, this writhing wanderer of darkness. And he will come to devour the world. A fantastic, stunning collection of a wide variety of stories of "Lovecraftian" horror, each of which is connected with the myths of H. P. Lovecraft.
