The Cult of the Miasmic has two simple goals: to worship the darker powers of beyond, and to deliver as many souls to the ancient nefarious gods as possible. Their vision of our world is blackness, and they dream only of the eternal void.
But even a cult steeped in malice can’t ignore the yearnings of the human body. While sex is a large part of many of the rituals the cult performs, love often has a way of sneaking in when least expected. And it’s this love that often changes everything – but not always for the better.
From members trying to get out before it’s too late, to members who realize they’re in too deep to ever escape, these stories tell tales often better left unspoken. Through the power of love, some find redemption, while others find eternal damnation.
