Story Blurb:

Five centuries ago, Captain Sammy buried his treasure in an unlikely location before letting the sun burn his body to ash to avoid becoming a vampire. Now the spectral pirate is back in the Jungle of Kled to reclaim his treasure, accompanied by two unusual friends. 

Rilpu is a young sorceress born as a serpent but transformed into a humanoid female by a spell. The wizard Zkauba hails from the doomed world of Yaddith. They are soon joined by an impressive companion: Yadira, the daughter of Nyarlathotep. However, it is possible that even Nyarlathotep's daughter may not be able to defeat the abomination standing in the blighted clearing under the pedestal where Captain Sammy's treasure is hidden. 

Do the ghostly pirate captain and his friends have a chance of reclaiming the treasure and continuing their mission to save the Cosmos from destruction or are they destined to fail?

Snippet

Darkness and ominous silence dominated the Jungleof Kled. Strange towering trees moving in ways that defied explanation castshadows that shimmered and danced. Each rustle in the darkness represented apotential threat, and every shadow teemed with unseen danger. A network oftwisted vines snaked through the underbrush, their thick tendrils blocking anylight that might have penetrated the canopy above.

A palpable sense of dread filled the air asstrange and terrifying cries echoed from the shadows. The flapping of massiveleathery wings could be heard as monstrous creatures ascended into the darkgreen sky. Insects of enormous size buzzed and crawled across toxic flowers.The feeling of being watched was ever-present, a sense of malice stalking everystep.

About the Author:

C. L. Hart, the owner and sole employee of Naughty Netherworld Press, is spoken of in hushed tones. She is described as The Mad Scribe of the Northeastern Colorado Plains, The Terrible Old Woman, and The Author That Should Not Be.

When not penning sanity-destroying works of dystopian fiction, Lovecraftian fantasy, or old-school horror with the occasional sweet romance thrown in to upset the cosmic apple cart, Ms. Hart enjoys creating baked goods she hopes will be considered palatable.

Ms. Hart shares a home in a remote rural town of 134 souls with her adult son and three cats. Her sense of fashion is best described as Early Twenty-First Century Unmade Bed. This disabled former nurse can usually be found arguing with herself about subplots or rehabilitating eldritch horrors.
