SHADOWS BEND: A NOVEL OF THE FANTASTIC AND UNSPEAKABLE - Coming August 29th!by David Barbour & Richard Raleigh This unique and original debut novel casts two real-life legends of fantasy fiction — Robert E. Howard, the creator of Conan, and H.P. Lovecraft, the inventor of the Necronomicon — in a nightmare of their own making! This tale begins on a dark and stormy night... a night tortured by the cries of an inhuman infant child. A child who would open the gates to the most dangerous force in the cosmos — the ancient god Cthulhu! And only two men — two eccentric writers — can stop him!
