URBAN MONSTERS presents three stories of monsters out of mythology, including a tale inspired by H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos. All are set in the present day, showing that creatures of myth aren’t relics from the past. They live among us and are still ready to destroy the unwary.
In “The Lurker In The Basement,” you will learn about a threat from the ancient world that is born to a wealthy modern-day couple. They do their best to conceal their hideous offspring from others, but there is no hiding a creature that hungers for human flesh.
“The Protective Care Ward” is set in a clinic for individuals with special problems. Some of the patients are extremely dangerous, including one whose appearance changes on a regular basis. That patient is in contact with the powerful deity Azathoth. Curing the patient might turn out to be tricky, since it could bring about the end of the world.
“Mother Most Foul” tells the tale of a creature out of Greek mythology who has decided to settle down in a domestic life as a mortal’s wife. But the creature clings to many strange beliefs, and finds it nearly impossible to blend into society. The story is told from the viewpoint of the creature’s long-suffering son, who does his best to help Mother to fit into a world that finds her both confusing and frightening….
