Award-Winning curator Nicole Petit presents the second volume of the dark fantasy collision between the Cthulhu Mythos and Arthurian Legend. When King Arthur pulled the sword from the stone, he established more than a nation. He established an ideal. Where righteousness and learning could thrive. Where valiant knights battled evil. Camelot, the incorruptible dream. From beyond the stars and before time, something stirs. Spoken of in the Necronomicon, eldritch gods make their influence known. Awakened by loathsome constellations, they arise from sea-locked tombs and turn men's minds from outer spheres. The Mythos, the corrupting nightmare. Tonight, the stars are right. As Uther Pendragon's Britain is scorched by the unrelenting sun, the waking world's salvation must be found in the Dreamlands. A Roman Yog Sothoth cult holds secret sway, and if it can be solved, Merlin's riddle is the key to their defeat. Relics from Carcosa are brought to Camelot, bleeding the line between the world that is and the world that could be. How knights such as Pellinore, Galahad, and Calogrenant respond will save or damn all things. Shadows Over Avalon: Volume Two features a novella by Jon Black and stories by Lukasz Furmaniak, Georgia Cook, C. L. Werner, Kara Dennison, and Sophie Iles.
