Did you miss our Indiegogo campaign? World War Cthulhu: A Collection of Lovecraftian War Stories is scheduled for publication on August 19th, 2014. Backers will receive the book before that. Thank you for your interest in our project, and please subscribe to our free newsletter on DarkRegions.com for updates about the book.

The world is at war against things that slink and gibber in the darkness, and titans that stride from world to world, sewing madness and death. War has existed in one form or another since the dawn of human civilization, and before then, Elder terrors battled it out across this planet and this known universe in ways unimaginable. 

It has always been a losing battle for our side since time began. Incidents like the Innsmouth raid, chronicled by H.P. Lovecraft, mere blips of victory against an insurmountable foe. Still we fight, against these incredible odds, in an unending nightmare, we fight, and why? For victory, for land, for a political ideal? No, mankind fights for survival. 

Our authors, John Shirley, Mark Rainey, Wilum Pugmire, William Meikle, Tim Curran, Jeffrey Thomas and many others have gathered here to share war stories from the eternal struggle against the darkness. This book chronicles these desperate battles from across the ages, including Roman Britain, The American Civil War, World War Two, The Vietnam Conflict, and even into the far future.

Introduction

A Feast of Flesh by Lee Clark Zumpe - NEW!

British prisoner's of the Ottoman army, facing daily brutality, are discovered in an escape attempt and sent to a more barbaric prison , run by German jailors. There they discover that some of their fellow prisoners are not quite human. The answers to this mystery and more lie within a mountain the Germans are desperate to penetrate.

Long Island Weird by Charles Christian - NEW!

A mystery called the Long Island Incident, centered around Beacon Towers on the Long Island Sound. Ghosts, weird lights, German U-Boats and prohibition bootleggers... even darker things will be discovered in this decades spanning mystery covering wars both overt, and secret.

The Yoth Protocols by Josh Reynolds - NEW!

A cold war, then a colder war, and things that should crawl rather than walk team together with human agents to solve a mystery in the deeper chasms of Earth. There are winners, and losers, and when does a victory occur without some sacrifice?

Loyalty by John Shirley

In Loyalty, John Shirley tells a tale of a stranger in a strange land, a man out of time that awakens to a future where horrors unexpected battle mankind. A deal with a tentacled devil is required to save humanity, but will we really be saved?

The Game Changers by Stephen Mark Rainey

The Vietnam War, a journey through a jungle of madness and death. What are brave men to do when their very own superiors have given their loyalty to things that should not breathe the same as us?

White Feather by T.E. Grau

This is a tale of a heroism without reward, of a life ground down by the horror of seeing too much, knowing too much. During the War of Independence, a Privateer captain fights for his jaded soul’s redemption, or perhaps, destruction.

To Hold Ye White Husk by W.H. Pugmire

A dreamlike scene of men stranded at sea, the terror of war replaced by the horrors of slow death and starvation. Yet there is a beauty in horror, and a mysterious amulet leads these sea battle survivors to face the unimaginable.

Sea Nymph’s Son by Robert M. Price

A tale describing the Legend of Achilles, epic, bloody battles and the story of monstrous titans and a hero that needs to remain masked for the sanity of all. The fate of Troy is unimaginable, unexpected, but somehow apt. 

The Boonieman by Edward M. Erdelac

A return to the rank jungles of Vietnam, where soldiers allied with local villagers discover ancient secrets far worse than the losing war they have been waging. The Boonieman Cometh, and the jungle quakes.

The Turtle by Neil Baker

Another return, to America during the War of Independence. In a war at sea, a man pilots an ingenious device against the British Navy. Other things lurk under the water however, things for the sake of sanity he would rather remain there.

The Bullet and the Flesh by David Conyers & David Kernot

A modern day tale of horrors perpetrated by man against man. The use of child soldiers in Zimbabwe are not the worst things to be encountered as lives are given less worth than shiny baubles from the earth. Evil men mess with things unpredictable, and brave men such as Major Harrison Peel (from Cthulhu Unbound 3) are forced to fight for justice and balance.

Broadsword by William Meikle

Two soldiers mountaineer across mountain ranges during WWII, in an attempt to deal with a threat against the allies and the hated German’s. The threat is otherworldly, the solution bringing difficult choices to those that would prefer peace to annihilation.

The Ithiliad by Christine Morgan

We return to Troy, where humans and things part-human worship decadent horrors. Epic battles are forged spilling blood and ichor. We are as playthings to the gods in this tale, and again, Troy is to meet an unimaginable fate.

The Sinking City by Konstantine Paradias

Warring factions use an unwitting man as their puppet in this tale, detailing a sinister journey to R’lyeh. The inner war, the fight of a man to retain his identity and his sanity, proves just as important as the one beyond his violated body.

Shape of a Snake by Cody Goodfellow

The Spanish-American War is the setting here, Lt. Col. Roosevelt and his men encountering a strange group of people at a hotel. They have faced the horrors of war, but what about the ancient secrets they’re about to encounter here?

Mysterious Ways by C.J. Henderson

A Roman Centurion makes a choice about his immediate future, a choice made by making a deal with a many-faced god. The choice has repercussions for the centurion, and Humanity, for millennia to come. 

Magna Mater by Edward Morris

World War One, France, a collection of arcane books and a place of mysteries. A man called William Hope Hodgson experiences these mysteries in a personal apocalypse of discovery.

Dark Cell by Brian M. Sammons and Glynn Owen Barrass


A contemporary tale where two unlikely heroes, an American CIA Agent and a criminal Army Intelligence Officer, work together to discover what the IRA wants with a sinister tome and what reading that book will mean to the people of London.

Cold War, Yellow Fever by Pete Rawlik

During the Cuban Missile Crisis, a covert group led by a Terrible Old Man sets off to investigate bizarre events and a strange signal. The city they encounter once resembled an earthly city, its inhabitants too.

Stragglers from Carrhae by Darrell Schweitzer

Two Roman Soldiers, last survivors of a bloody battle, set off on a journey across Asia minor to renew their lives. The companions they find on their way are impossible in a sane world, and madness seems the only explanation and the best refuge.

The Procyon Project by Tim Curran

A war veteran haunted by the dreams of his past, guards something for the government, something that begins to haunt his waking hours. Some things are best left alone and undiscovered, things that are not meant to be guarded by fragile humans.

Wunderwaffe by Jeffrey Thomas

On an alien world, in a sprawling city called Paxton, or Punktown, to its residents, war, magic and religion are brought together in a hellish way. Colonial Forces are summoned there to fight something, something they are completely unprepared for.

World War Cthulhu: A Collection of Lovecraftian War Stories is an ambitious project with many contributors, so expenses are significantly higher than the typical project. It's also a project that is full of potential for expansion beyond its original scope; new stories, illustrations and more can be added if we surpass our original goal to enhance the book past what we originally planned. 

We have designed this Indiegogo campaign as another means of preordering the book. You will be reserving your copy at retail price (or cheaper) with free U.S. shipping included and will receive special campaign-exclusive editions that won't be offered retail outside of the campaign.

If you have any questions please feel free to message us on Indiegogo or e-mail us through our website at DarkRegions.com.
