The Symbiot-Series: Book 3

NecropolisISBN - 978-0-9948189-4-2 (print)Be Prepared. The Rising Has Come.​​"Woven throughout this entire literary piece are the stories of characters forgotten from the original novella, The Symbiot. Written as three separate pieces, following 6 story lines set in 3 different ages, Necropolis is intricate storytelling!"The first piece tells the story of the fall and demise of the ancient Egyptian man-god, Pharaoh Nyarlathotep.The second brings us back to the characters we left in the previous book, ten years later. The promises hinted at in TheHunt: Symbiosys, do not disappoint and come to fruition in Necropolis, with full blown Lovecraftian-mythos monsters!"It's Modern Tech versus forgotten aeons-old evil, with a reminiscent flavouring similar to Grandma Death's fictitious book (Donnie Darko, 2001)!"It has been a decade since The Hunt and the Gibbons' children are humanity's last hope!"The conclusion of The Symbiot Series spans three millennia - from Pharaoh Nyarlathotep's genesis and demise, to the discovery of the derelict Japanese Destroyer, the Yamayuki, to the world shattering rising of R'lyeh!"The world is at its end!R'lyeh has risen!Cthulhu's high priest has awoken!Ia! Ia! Cthulhu Fhtagn!"'Seph Sayers, Blogger & ReviewerInterested in ebooks?
