  Tony and the Beetles is a science fiction short story by American writer Philip K. Dick, first published in 1953. The story is told from the point of view of a young boy, Tony, living on an alien world that humans have conquered. The native species are beetle like creatures called the Pas-udenti, some of whom Tony has befriended. He loses his innocence when they turn against him after news reaches the planet that the war has turned against the humans. A Ten-Year-Old Boy Grows Up Fast When History Catches Up With The Human Race. Reddish-yellow sunlight filtered through the thick quartz windows into the sleep-compartment. Tony Rossi yawned, stirred a little, then opened his black eyes and sat up quickly. With one motion he tossed the covers back and slid to the warm metal floor. He clicked off his alarm clock and hurried to the closet. It looked like a nice day. The landscape outside was motionless, undisturbed by winds or dust-shift. The boy's heart pounded excitedly. He pulled his trousers on, zipped up the reinforced mesh, struggled into his heavy canvas shirt, and then sat down on the edge of the cot to tug on his boots. He closed the seams around their tops and then did the same with his gloves. 
  In the dining-compartment his mother and father had finished breakfast. Their voices drifted to him as he clattered down the ramp. A disturbed murmur; he paused to listen. What were they talking about? Had he done something wrong, again?

Lovecraft has developed a cult following for his Cthulhu Mythos as well as the Necronomicon, a fictional grimoire of magical rites and forbidden lore. The History of the Necronomicon.

  We knew the cockroaches would inherit the Earth. We just didn’t think they’d take over our next planet, too. 
   
  The Earth is gone, and its survivors are in desperate need of a new home. Trapped on board Arks orbiting New Terra, the UEC fleet orders a full invasion. The planet is theirs if they want it… they just need to clear out the massive bug infestation first. 
   
  Ginger and her squadmates in Fireteam Sigma are no strangers to alien worlds – this isn’t the first planet they’ve tried to colonise. But they’ve never gone up against an enemy like this before: hungry, seven foot roaches capable of biting a marine in two. It’s going to take everything Sigma’s got – and more – to survive. 
   
  Can Fireteam Sigma liberate the first New Terran city? Or has humanity simply delayed its own extinction?

  All this druid wants is to visit Superhero World, snag some exotic tech, and go home. Unfortunately, fate has other plans. What’s a mythological hero to do when he’s forced to become a supervillain to save his world… and himself? 
  Colin is a druid on a mission. Namely, traveling to an alternate dimension where technology rules, to snag the tech he needs to save his friends in the Hellpocalypse timeline. 
  At first, it sounds simple. He’ll slip through the timestreams, do a little sightseeing, and go home. Heck, it might even be fun to visit a world where actual superheroes exist. 
  But for creation’s unluckiest druid, nothing is ever easy. When things go horribly wrong, Colin finds that his magic is almost completely on the fritz. 
  To complicate matters, he’s soon mistaken for a supervillain, making enemies with the planet’s most powerful superhero in the process. 
  Stranded in a world where heroes aren’t quite heroic, and where villains have no rights, the druid sees only one path forward… 
  He’ll figure out his powers and clear his name, all while being hunted by every superhero and government agent on the planet. 
  At least there’s an upside—things couldn’t possibly get worse, right?
