I know you have been waiting, holding your breath — close to dying — wanting to find out what stories and authors you can find in Volume 2 of my hplmythos.com Series, Urban Cthulhu: Nightmare Cities. Well, rest at ease at long last, my shadow friends on the web. The final decisions have been made, and here are the tales you will find:
CONTENTS:
- “the guilt of each… at the end…” by Joseph S. Pulver, Sr.
- “Dancer of the Dying” by Jayaprakash Satyamurthy
- “The Neighbors Upstairs” by John Goodrich
- “Carcosapunk” by Glynn Owen Barrass
- “Architect Eyes” by Thomas Strømsholt
- “Slou” by Robert Tangiers
- “Ozeelah’s Lake” by Morten Carlsen
- “The Statement of Frank Elwood” by Pete Rawlik
- “Night Life” by Henrik Sandbeck Harksen
- (I expect a couple of more confirmations, but will reserve the mentioning of those stories till I’ve heard from the authors;-))
I am really, really impressed by this collection. In all modesty (or not) I think this will truly be a fine addition to the Cthulhu Mythos & Lovecraftian publications that sprawl the world. And any interested reader will find tales that reveal a new, hitherto unexamined corner of this genre — the urban Cthulhu area. (And yes, the .com site will be updated with this information, but it will take a few days longer.)
A deeply felt thank you to all contributors.
Tomorrow: Revealing the stories to the Danish Dystre Danmark 2. In Danish;-)

That’s a damn impressive list of names, with some real pipe-swinging Lovecraftians.
Can’t wait to see how the ToC finishes out! 🙂
Looks very good. Pulver and Barrass and Harksen, oh my!
CONGRATS to the authors on the ToC! !! Looking forward to Henrikus’ dark tome and reading these unspeakable tales of urban shadows tainted by eldritch insanity!! !
I’m lucky enough to have many of the tomes w/ the HHP imprint [Thanks, Henrik!], all are very nice looking tomes! !! I’ll be spreading the word! !!
Thank you very much, Gentlemen. I agree, it is a fine list of contributors. And believe me when I say that the stories live up to it. I feel so honored that so many amazingly talented writers have heeded the Urban Call from my small corner in the darkness of infinity and agreed to help me transform an idea to a real tome with dark gems.
@John: You have no idea how proud I am to see my name alongside such writers! I only hope my story can bear it, and it doesn’t fail altogether… (I suppose a little “stage fright” plays a role here as well, since I have not published a story since “The Bibliophile.”)
@Joe: You’re more than welcome. I hope you like ye tomes from Frosty Denmark!
Sheeeeeeesh, Henrik! I’ve having to restock candles for my candalabras, a blanket to hide under, and starstones for around the house…although I’ve got it on good authority that starstones really don’t work…I’m going to find out!

Okay, trying to pre-order … can’t find the form, but I’m in a rush—gotta get to work—so no time to scour the web. Maybe a link … ?
It can’t be pre-ordered yet, John. I’ll make an announcement when it can:-)
Ah. Okay; somehow thought I’d seen a page where one could pre-order. But I often have trouble distinguishing reality from fantasy. Just got my paycheck, and the money’s burning a hole in my pocket.
In my search I DID find this page. I see you have much on your plate. Some of it is still moving.
