Synopsis
In a realm outside space and time, the Elder Gods are kept prisoner, but they have the power to tap into the darkness at the edge of humanity's consciousness, calling out to those sensitive to their essence. One of them is Howard Lovecraft, who translates their message into horror stories. He develops a following, including the secretive organization, Oblivion. Oblivion seeks to prevent the Elder Gods from reentering the universe and instruct one of their agents, Professor Emanuel Houellebecq to deal with Lovecraft. When Houellebecq's attempt at discrediting the writer's tales fails, he poisons Lovecraft. However, this does not prevent Lovecraft from being a mainstay of popular culture. The influence of Lovecraft, with the magic of Artillica, allows the Elder Gods to escape their prison and take their hold in many universes.
One Elder God ends up in Cross Plains, Texas, where Covert Vampiric Operations agents Britt, Cross, and Bools are called in to deal with the problem.
