About

Cross-Genre Cthulhu will be an anthology taking Lovecraft's Mythos--the tomes, the cults, the creatures, the gods--and blending it with other well-defined genres. We want to take the musty hermetic world of HPL and drag it out into the sunlight of Dodge City, the mean streets of Los Angeles, the bright, shiny cyberfuture of Mars Base One. Love superhero stories? Then pit your Captain Laser against the Mi-go in a battle to the death! A fan of romance? Have your heroine fall in love with a shoggoth! Tired of mercenaries going up against the Mafia? Give them a bigger opponent and have them try to stop Cthulhu from destroying Miami Beach! We're looking for fun, fast pulpy tales with an HPL flavor. We DON'T want straight pastiche.
