-Published Translation-

Kthulhu Reich by Asamatsu Ken

(Original Title: 邪神帝国 (The Cthulhu Mythos Files3))
A horror work made of linked stories revolving around Nazis, the Occult, and the world of H. P. Lovecraft’s Chtulhu Mythos. 

West of Innsmouth: A Cthulhu Western by Kikuchi Hideyuki

(Original Title 邪神決闘)

This is a unique mashup of western novel, Cthulhu Mythos, and fantasy ninja romance from Vampire Hunter D creator Kikuchi Hideyuki. Equal parts gunslinging adventure, mystic ninja action, and creeping cosmic horror with just a dash of silliness, it’s guaranteed to be unlike anything you’ve read before.
