Of Evil and Angels - Book II

Steaphan Kay

Sinossi

Book II continues Alyssalee's story; once an orphan, now taken under the wing of her new paramilitary family—the Undivine. Maybe it was the draw of being a part of something meaningful or the pull of her Undivine girlfriend, Sophie, but she was all-in on their mission. Hand in hand, Alyssalee and Sophie face the next chapter of the fleshmonger plague that threatens the Solar Unity. On the one hand, there's Alyssalee, reckless and unsure of her powerful mind-hacking abilities. And on the other, there's Sophie's steadfast love, keeping Alyssalee grounded. Together, they're a force that transcends the notion that love never dies.
 
What started in the immersive game world of Sword of Sanctity as a means to possess players has bled into the real world. Alyssalee, Sophie, Commander Cole, and the Undivine's Chief Nerd, Bits, return to the game to save lives and get answers. But it's not just the laity that's in harm's way. The fleshmonger boss wants the Undivine eradicated. And now, the dark being's lust for absolute power leads him to set his sights on Alyssalee.
 
All that Alyssalee knew of what it is to live, to die, to love is shattered. Confronted by unfathomable supernatural forces, impossible decisions must be made, But how far will Alyssalee go to protect the ones she loves?

The Call of Cthulhu

H. P. Lovecraft

Title: The Call of Cthulhu 
Author: H. P. Lovecraft 
Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
Original Publication: 1928 
Public Domain: Yes 
Series Placement: Number 34 in the Timeless Terrors series 
Description: 
The Call of Cthulhu by H. P. Lovecraft is the cornerstone of cosmic horror — a vast and terrifying revelation that humanity is but a fleeting whisper beneath the gaze of ancient, indifferent gods. Told through fragmented reports, journal entries, and the haunted memories of those who have glimpsed forbidden truths, it weaves a chilling investigation into the cult of Cthulhu — a monstrous being sleeping beneath the Pacific, whose awakening would end all that we know. 
Lovecraft constructs his myth through suggestion and implication, blending mystery, anthropology, and existential terror into a narrative that expands horror beyond the human scale. This is not merely a story of monsters, but of meaning undone — where sanity erodes in the face of incomprehensible reality. 
Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author  Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures the story’s investigative tension and creeping dread — the inexorable uncovering of truths too vast for the mind to hold. While the text itself is in the public domain, this narration is an original performance and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
Part of Timeless Terrors, a series devoted to resurrecting the masters of the macabre, The Call of Cthulhu stands as Lovecraft’s defining vision — a tale of cosmic insignificance, ancient worship, and the terrible awakening of what should forever sleep. 
Prepare for a descent into madness, mystery, and myth — where knowledge itself is the most dangerous horror of all.
