Shadows Bend — David Barbour; Richard Raleigh

TWO FUTURE LEGENDS.
ONE ANCIENT EVIL.

H.P. Lovecraft was a writer who would one day become famous or his eerie tales of the macabre--filled with ancient beings who ruled the world millions of years before the appearance of the human race.

Robert E. Howard was a writer whose barbarian character Conan would become a literary legend--a lone hero in a primitive world overrun by humankind's oldest and strongest enemies.

But few know the real story that inspired these masters of pulp fiction. The story that begins on a dark and stormy night. A night tortured by the cries of an inhuman infant. A child who would open he gates to the most dangerous force in the cosmos--the ancient god Cthulhu...

And only two men--two eccentric writers--can stop him.
