The undead stand defiant before the dawn, determined to outlive and outrun the end of forever. One final time we shall know their pain and suffering for ourselves. It's time to run with the wild ones and break loose from the pack, as over twenty authors from around the world unleash their tales of an eternity gone wrong. Dare you brave such epically depraved circumstance one final time?

They say that when the ""stars are right"" he will return and usher in a new age and the elder gods will reign once again. H.P.L drops a few hints that Cthulhu may not return during mankind's time on Earth. In this second installment we return to a world on the brink, where the unthinkable - the unnameable - could lurk just around the corner.

Nightmare Stalkers & Dream Walkers attempts to invade the dream world, bringing back the weirdest and most terrifying tidbits-all for the amusement of the reader. The authors in these pages have dared to draw from their dream worlds, beating a path through the wilderness of the human subconscious in order to take us to places better left unexplored. But that's okay. Fiction can't hurt us. Neither can dreams. This much we know. We believe it. And yet, somehow, fear lingers, because we cannot be sure... Can we ever fully trust the hidden part of ourselves that seems to have a life of its own? Can we ever feel one hundred percent comfortable with those elusive shadows that flit in and out of our minds, leaving no trace in our memory? We can't help but wonder about dreams... What are they...? -Lindsey Beth Goddard: Author of Quick Fix: A Taste of Terror

Sword wielding barbarians wander the opulent Southlands, battling warriors and wizards in decadent cities of wealth, intrigue and sorcery; cruel warlords, sinister magicians, beautiful princesses, thieves, rogues and pirates are brought into stark relief by a lush, vivid backdrop of jungles and mountains, oceans and deserts tainted with cosmic evil from the outer darkness... For a second time we invite you to a "purple and golden and crimson universe where anything can happen-except the tedious." - Gavin Chappell

Weapons of power can be double edged. For every enchanted blade there is a cursed sword. The warrior who wields one of these weapons will triumph against foe after foe, and yet the blade may be his own downfall. Tyrfing, forged by dwarfs under duress, had three curses to leaven its three virtues. Kullervo used the talking sword of the god Ukko to slay all his foes, and yet in the end it was with that blade that the troubled hero took his own life. Elric's sentient blade Stormbringer drank the blood and souls of its victims in return for victory in the fight, but it was an uneasy, Faustian pact between swordsman and sword, ending in tragedy...

IN THE eldritch writings of Ec'h Pi El we learn that the land of Lomar, first chronicled by that aeons-dead author, lay contiguous in time and space to Ancient Hyperborea, sinister kingdom of the North described in the story cycles of the prophet Klarkash Ton. Twin lands beyond the Arctic Circle, home to a cyclopean civilisation long ground to dust by the advancing glaciers, they flourished in blasphemously, inconceivably ancient days when Lemuria and Hyboria and Mu were but a dream... Against this background of savage tribes and more savage gods dwell sorcerers, warriors, rogues and thieves, whose brutal adventures are chronicled by the spiritual heirs of Ec'h Pi El and Klarkash Ton in Rogue Planet Press' new anthology, Swords against Cthulhu II: Hyperborean Nights.
