“There is but one New Orleans,” they say, bustling with joie de vivre, celebrating non-stop, but step closer, into the clinging, honeysuckle-scented air, and you will find a darker version of the Big Easy, depending on what you believe is true. Tales of vampires, werewolves, curses, and mysterious half-human bayou creatures are pervasive in New Orleans’ culture. Visitors may pass them off as folk tales and superstitions, but the locals know to never go into the deep swamp alone or into the cemetery at night. Tale or truth? In New Orleans, the line between them bleeds.

NOT THE END OF THE STORY! 
The lore of Averoigne didn’t end with Clark Ashton Smith. Over the decades other writers, fascinated by this "Lovecraft country" of medieval France, added their own contributions in tales spanning history from the Roman era to modern day. Revisit Vyônes and Périgon, meet Luc le Chaudronnier and Azédarac once again, as old foes like the Gargoyles of Vyônes Cathedral and the Colossus of Ylourgne return to wreck more havoc. 
But new threats are always lurking in the shadows - join the peasantry of Averoigne in their struggles to survive in their cursed, monster-haunted homeland as they face dangers ranging from ghostly cats to man-eating ogres. Tales of harpies and werewolves, witches and necromancers, changelings and cockatrices await you, as well as adversaries of the more mundane variety like fanatical Inquisitors, heretical cults, and druids serving dark gods. 
For the first time collected together into one volume, you can read over two dozen poems and stories of Averoigne (including some never before published) by Mythos authors like DJ Tyrer, Ron Hilger, Richard Tierney, Brian McNaughton, Michael Minnis, and James Chambers, including: THE ORACLE OF SADOQUA by Ron Hilger THE WEDDING OF SHEILA-NA-GOG by G. Arthur Rahman & Richard L. Tierney THE CULT OF THE SINGING FLAME by David Reid Ross THE DOOM OF AZÉDARAC by Ron Hilger THE PINK FLOWER OF SAINT ZÉNOBIE by Aaron Hollingsworth HUGH THE DISCERNING by Garnett Elliott THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF GHOSTLY CATS by Michael Minnis UNHALLOWED GROUND, UNHOLY FLESH by James Chambers THE LITTLE AND THE BIG by Michael Minnis THE PASSING OF BELZÉVUTHE by Simon Whitechapel THE BUTCHER OF VYÔNES by Michael Minnis BLACK ART IN VYÔNES by Keith Chapman THE COCKATRICE OF CORDELIERS by Michael Minnis CLOTAIRE OF THE CROSS by Colin Harker SYMPOSIUM OF THE GARGOYLE by Simon Whitechapel THE QUARRY by Simon Whitechapel THE GARGOYLES OF NOTRE DAME by Matthew Baugh THE RETURN OF THE COLOSSUS by Brian McNaughton THE MUSE OF AVEROIGNE by Ron Hilger & Henry J. Vester III THE FELL FÊTE by Manuel Arenas BOUFONOULA by D.J. Tyrer A HONEYMOON IN AVEROIGNE by Trevor O. Childers\n... PLUS over a dozen poems of Averoigne by H.P. Lovecraft, DJ Tyrer, Ashley Dioses, Wade German, Cardinal Cox, Ron Shiflet and others, AND a Map of Averoigne by multiple Hugo-award winning artist Tim Kirk!
