Come Together

"Come Together" was originally written for Peter Worthy's Visages of the Void anthology for stories about Nyarlathotep. Mr. Worthy was very enthusiastic about the story, but unfortunately the book never came to be.

Since then, "Come Together" has languished in The Trunk, but it is soon to be included in "Sleepwalker".

In the Author's Words
"The idea behind the story for "Come Together" was a question: what if the 999 aspects of Nyarlathotep decided to join with each other? What would that be like, how would they go about it, and why?

So, armed with Dan Harms' Encyclopedia Cthulhiana, with I figured I would start with the two aspects that were the most familiar, the Haunter of the Dark (from the Lovecraft story of the same name) and the Egyptian from "Nyarlathotep," except a bit differently for him.

This story is where the idea for old Faceless came to me, as well. I mean, for him to be the Faceless P.I., no one knowing what he really looked like or what his name was. Also, Bill Pronzini kind of beat me to Nameless, hah."
