The Last Days of Jericho

Description

True horror is the knowledge that fate itself has turned against you.

A monster is approaching the Bronze Age city of Yarich. It cannot be stopped. It cannot be turned aside.

And the monster is . . . God Himself.

Sakal, caravan-master to the “Melek” or king of the Canaanite city-state, recounts the tale of the increasingly desperate battle for survival waged by his people against fanatical outsiders—nomads from the desert wielding a terrible supernatural power. As an incomprehensible cosmic force approaches, the city dwellers slowly lose all that they have loved—including, finally, their humanity.

A twist in point of view transforms the Old Testament tale of the fall of Jericho into Lovecraftian horror.
