October 5th: Siren Weed

“The lake has been a placed of comfort, and death, since time began.  On nights when there is no moon a lone traveler can go there to meet with the ghosts of their past.  If they are lucky, or unlucky, they are met by the specter they seek.  Final good byes can be given, apologies made, or confessions delivered. Many come from the lake with a sense of closure and resolution, but some who go there are never seen again. What happens to them remains a mystery” – Translated from the original German, excerpt from the diary of Deitrick Jaeger.

A Call for Art!

Howdy folks!
Our OctoberNomicon is going GREAT right now and I’m loving all the hard work and creativity our authors are putting in.   What would really help I think, is if we can have pictures of the creatures themselves to go with the article.  We got one for Bruce‘s Black Eyed Children, but we need more.

Are you artistic? Do you want to help out Shoggoth.net?  If so drop me an email at trollboy[at]shoggoth.net or through the site’s internal messaging and we’ll get some of your art up here.  If you’re reading this in the future, fear not!  Any article on this site could be jazzed up with some fine art!

We’re ALWAYS taking submissions.

October 4th: The Deep One Scientists

“The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age. ”
― H.P. Lovecraft

October 3rd: Mirror: Avatar of Bast

“From the edge of the lamplight, amid the swirling dust of the tomb, strode a cat with fur as black as the night sky. Purring loudly, it began to curl against my legs, nuzzling me. As I reached down to pet the cat, she looked up, her bright green eyes piercing my awareness. “Meow,” she said, and I knew her name to be Mirror.” Continue reading »

October 2nd: Skeletal Jester: Avatar of Nyarlathotep

“Something in my peripheral vision. I turned my head and my skin tightened into gooseflesh as I beheld a jester, all in a dirty, tattered, black and white costume. The only body part visible was a skull, browned from the rotting away of flesh. It carried the scent of decay but, even more horrid, the thing radiated a nearly tangible malignancy.”

October 1st: Black Eyed Children

Image is of a around 10 years old fair skinned child with brown hair. Both of his eyes are completely black, devoid of white or iris.

The boy began to shift his body when Kisner passed them on her way to her car, then he lifted his head and made eye contact with her. “I froze. His eyes were black as night, very dull, almost dead,” Kisner said. “The look he gave me has haunted me. The feeling I got from him was as though he wasn’t all there, almost ghostly.” …Kisner doesn’t know who, or what the boy was, but this memory will stick with her forever. “Ever since then the look he gave me has haunted me,” she said. “Almost like he knew what I had been thinking.” – Jason Offut, “Encounters With Black Eyed Kids”

Curious Boston: Is There A Theater Hidden Somewhere Under The City?

Answer: Yes. There is a largely forgotten performance hall underground in the center of Boston, and you may well have walked by it. But like many Bostonians, you probably didn’t know it was there, as so few in the city today have ever been inside.
