These aren't the stories your mother told you.

No, these are the other stories.

Welcome back to the other stories. My name is Luke and here's a story for you.

To look at an elder goddess to realize how small we are and when you see it, realize it,

a sudden Christian clarity overcomes you and in your oncoming wave of comprehension,

The math is too complex, the science too ungraspable,

and the vision of it too distant from your place of understanding

that you dig your fingers behind your eyeballs

and pop them out just to make it stop.

With the sound of a bird bone breaking, your mind snaps.

Never again to heal over.

Yes, that's right.

This month we are taking a trip to the mountains of madness,

listening to the songs of a dead dreamer,

wrestling with tentacles of understanding,

and in most cases failing.

This month we are, of course, doing Cosmic Horror.

So if you're a fan of HP Lovecraft, Arthur Macon, or Thomas Legotti,
