by Cody Goodfellow originally published Cthulhu's Dark Cults, Chaosium, 2010
Kenya, 1930. A British run diamond mine, the Lucky Kate, is taken over by Somali workers, and the Cult of the Bloody Tongue, a Nyarlathotep-worshipping cult who are trying to summon the Big N hisself. Maj. Glendower and Cecil Chichester, the company secretary, are taken hostage and made to work in the mines, digging out glowing green jewels thought to be the remains of a meteor. Afterwards, they are to be killed, but not without some torture first! Glendower, witnessing their blood-soaked ritual, sees a chance to escape or at least take a bunch of cultists with him. He does both. Some time later in London, he receives an ominous letter from Chichester.
Not much to say about this one. It's vividly and effectively written, but not much on plot, and there's enough graphic gore to scare of Herschell Gordon Lewis! Potent in a way, but not that rewarding.
