Mother of Madness is a novella-length three-part reimagining of The Call of Cthulhu for a modern audience. Julia Summers is an indie cover artist. Neck deep in the Victorian Zombie Romance revolution, she's ripping bodices and painting six-pack abs for some of the genre's up-and-comers. Still, all this art isn't covering the rent, so when a bestselling author reaches out for her latest series, it's exactly the lifeline this young artist needs. But the competition is fierce and it isn't long before late nights and dangerous shortcuts take her to the greatest heights of her art, and the deepest dark of the human soul. Sometimes it's best to let dead gods lie dreaming and not bring their blood-soaked desires to pixelated perfection. "In his house at R'Lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming…and we will wake him."
