Ken Hite's Dubious Shards

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Published by Ronin Arts, sold under permission by Atomic Overmind Press

He has exposed The Cainite Heresy, and dug up the Secrets of the Ruined Temple. He has broadcast the Suppressed Transmissions, and ventured through Infinite Worlds. Now, horror heresiarch Kenneth Hite, the author of GURPS Horror 3rd Edition and Nightmares of Mine, assembles the Dubious Shards of the Cthulhu Mythos!

Among the blasphemous contents herein:

  • An examination of the Cthulhu Mythos, and how to discover it for games and storytelling.
  • In-depth explorations of Dagon, Irem, Dunwich, and other Lovecraftian topics.
  • Critical essays on the politics of horror fiction, and why John Wayne would have played Call of Cthulhu.
  • A never-before seen original Delta Green scenario of paranoia and surveillance.
  • And a glimpse at the fearsome Tarot of Cthulhu!

WARNING: This book contains Dizzying Speculation, Eldritch Hints, and Maniacal Ravings. Not for the neurasthenic or phthisickal.

Written and Illustrated by Kenneth Hite
Layout and Design by Philip Reed

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
