Summary

Boston, 1926. Francis Thurston goes through documents left behind by his grandfather's brother, recently deceased under mysterious circumstances. He soon discovers the existence of a cult that worships ancient and unspeakable horrors. Mysterious murders, blood rituals in the depths of the Louisiana swamps, artists who descend into insanity after nightmarish visions, and a Cyclopean city that rises from the sea. Step by step, Thurston realizes that his relative's research got too close to the truth. In the shadows, there are those who want to wake the sleeping god Cthulhu in order to spread madness and destruction over the entire world. The stars are right. Is the end near? H.P. Lovecraft's The Call of Cthulhu, first published in 1928, is one of the greatest classics of American horror literature. Cthulhu himself, dreaming and waiting at the bottom of the sea, became a symbol for the entire mythology that Lovecraft created. François Baranger, an illustrator who has previously worked in film and games, was fascinated early on by Lovecraft's creatures and visions which populated the darkest recesses of fantasy. In this book, he has taken on the work of illustrating Lovecraft's most iconic novel.

"Every spell leaves a scar." 
In a medieval Norwegian village, at a time when Christianity has just begun to replace the Old Ways, a young woman named Skera is accused of murdering her sister and the cruel priest who raised them. 
Hunted and alone, she flees into the shadow of the forest in search of Valdalla, a reclusive witch who still practices the ancient arts, and who agrees to take her on as her apprentice. 
But as Skera’s prowess in the Old Ways grows, so does the pull she feels toward a magic that's forbidden. A darkness that could undo them. A spell that could bring back her sister. 
Starring: Kate Reilly, Chrissy Hogue Bartels, R. Michael Gull, Miriam Aslam, Max Bank, Carlos Garcia, Shanna Quackenbush, Helen Day. 
Praise forÆther.

    Welcome to Timeless Terrors No. 62, continuing H. P. Lovecraft’s escalating tale of cosmic terror: The Dunwich Horror. 
Dunwich teeters on the edge of catastrophe. Wilbur Whateley’s rapid transformation and unholy knowledge have pushed him toward a desperate quest for the Necronomicon’s deepest secrets. As he ventures beyond Dunwich to obtain what he lacks, the true danger may no longer lie with Wilbur himself—but with what he and his grandfather have kept hidden in the sealed upper rooms of the Whateley farmhouse. 
The invisible presence upstairs grows louder, larger, and more impossible to contain. Rumblings shake the hills at night. Strange footprints appear near the barns. Doors rattle without wind. The villagers feel the dread in their bones: something is waking… and nothing can stop it. 
Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this installment brings Lovecraft’s mounting dread to life, revealing the widening cracks between our world and ancient, indifferent powers lurking beyond it. 
This is Part 6 of a 10-part complete audiobook. Stay tuned — the nightmare is about to break open.

It brings them closer together and changes their relationship, but with the danger mounting, how can Meredith safely open the inn just yet?
