The Dame Liked Knives

Dame liked knives – that’s how I knew she was different.  And her curves were dynamite, just waiting to go off.  I could hear the timer ticking away in my head. Tall, blonde, blue eyes.  She was none of those things, but tell her that any of that made her less of a woman, and she’d give you an Enzo Angiolini enema.  Not one of those half-inch pump deals either. …

Lyle (Lovecraft mythos) v.1

When I first saw the shadow that he had become, I didn’t know whether to pity or fear Agent MacLennan.  We arrived on the scene to find him raving about immortals and homicide, and had to forcibly remove him.  He was unhelpful at first, speaking in fragmented sentences, refusing to fully answer any direct questions in a manner as which could help us piece together what had happened.  Only after…
