Nice! I'd say Lovecraftian but actually more Clark Ashton Smith with the overtones of sorcery...I like it!

Wow, I just happened to find by complete chance after seeing you like one of my notes. One horror author to another, this is great stuff! Definitely subscribing to keep reading your work.

The mystery and suspense your provide in this short story is amazing. The artifact you mention and describe is so intriguing, I want to know more about this "unending" being.

Thank you! That means a lot to me. I do actually have another Distant Reaches story about the Black Vault, although it has a very different take on what's inside.
