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 upon 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?

It was into this scene that three peculiar
travelers fell from an ovoid of light the color of key lime pie filling.
Despite the bumpy landing, the first of the trio seemed unperturbed. This
sturdy, mature gentleman quickly righted himself, doing a jaunty jig in the
air, his silver and gold curls bouncing as he moved. A beam of moonlight passed
through him, revealing his ethereal nature. The spectre hastened to assist his
companions.
“Rilpu, are you all right, Lass?” he inquired of a
willowy young humanoid woman in her late adolescent years. As she rose from the
ground, she brushed her cherry-red hair away from her face, securing it with a
brown scrunchie taken from the red bag slung across her body. Her golden eyes
were reminiscent of those of a snake, and her smile revealed pointed fangs.
“I am well, Captain Sammy,” she replied. “It was
quite a wild ride through that last gate, though. I hope we might find a
different way to exit."
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.

I try to get comments published as quickly as possible. I have ADHD and anxiety and sometimes I need to work myself up to be able to respond to comments. I don't always reply to comments on my blog, but I do try to visit as many people as possible when I participate in blog hops. I share your work on the monthly Roost Recommendations posts at ornerybookemporium.blogspot.com so others can discover your work. I do read and appreciate your comments.
Sorry, the Captcha is back and this time it's staying. I was inundated with spam comments when I turned it off. I wish butt rash on all the spammers out there.
