Forbidden Texts
Author: James Newman, David Bain, Nicholas Knight, Rick Kennett, Bryce Stevens, Christine Cornell

From H.P. Lovecraft?s Necronomicon to The Voynich Manuscript, from the Rongorongo artifacts to The Georgia Guidestones, from The Oerea Linda Book to The Book of Soyga, certain arcane writings, it seems, are not to be read - or at least not fully fathomed - by ordinary mortals. The stories in Forbidden Texts, however, each dealing with a document... more » from beyond the pale, are not only designed to be read ? their contents have already proven their ability to creep into the shadows of one?s mind and linger, awakening dark visions, etching themselves into your memory. While one of our narratives details a newly discovered work of outre erudition, three of the tales have been brought back to light from relative antiquity. Your humble editor and authors delved past the wards and sigils of obscurity, spelunking into the dungeons and mist-shrouded tombs of classic tomes. At long last we smuggled these forgotten manuscripts back from their time-eroded publications to be unleashed once more upon the waking world, our purpose to shock, thrill and entertain you anew. ?Rookwood? was first published in the Australian magazine Aurealis in 1999. ?An Uncommon Stew? was originally published as a bonus story in the back of all IDW comics in October 2004. ?The Love of a Good Book? tells the tale of a newly discovered (rumoured?) forbidden text? ?When Satan Sings the Blues? was first published in The Rare Anthology in 2001. While the volumes containing their original publications might be slightly dusty, these tales are anything but. Each holds within the very structure of its literary essence the power to twist and transform the darker corridors of the bibliophile?s brain. Come read? or, in the case of our final tale, listen ? if you dare!
