About this listen

“Have you seen the Yellow Sign?”

Hastur was not a creation of H.P. Lovecraft but an adaptation of concepts created by Ambrose Bierce and Robert W. Chambers. Nevertheless, Hastur, AKA The King in Yellow, has since gone on to become one of the most iconic Great Old Ones. Whether the mysterious Lord of Leng in the Dreamlands or Cthulhu’s alleged half-brother, he is a figure who haunts the dreams of those mortals who touch upon even the barest knowledge of his existence.

THE BOOK OF HASTUR is a collection of short stories and novellas depicting Hastur’s influence over a variety of individuals as well as those individuals affected by his presence. Some of them are horror, some of them are Pulp adventure, and some are a mixture of the two.

Wow! These authors absolutely have a knack for making readers feel like they’re diving into the Necronomicon for the very first time. And believe me, I’ve gone down that rabbit hole before! I wholeheartedly recommend this to all the lore enthusiasts and fans of Cthulhu Armageddon out there. What’s even more thrilling is how approachable this series is for those who might not be deep into the mythos yet.
Plus, it’s introduced me to a whole new world of authors and series that I can't wait to explore!

Immensely enjoyable. Good for newbies and lore hounds
