Penelope Love's Porphyry & Asphodel

ADD TO WISHLIST >

In a forgotten corner of Earth’s dreamlands, a mysterious structure has appeared. A sprawling and oddly-shaped castle known only as “Sleep.”

Meanwhile, in legend-haunted Arkham, a young girl lies in a Sanitorium bed from which she has not risen for five years. A tragic victim of the world-wide plague of “sleepy sickness.”

These two developments, linked by unseen bonds spanning across dimensions, threaten the soul of a young dreamer and perhaps the very equilibrium of the Dreamlands themselves. Only by undertaking a desperate journey can dreamers hope to defeat the cruel machinations of a heartless god that fuel these terrible events in both the waking world and the realms of slumber.

Featuring the most famous dream character and artefact depicted in the stories of H.P. Lovecraft, Porphyry & Asphodel, is a classic Dreamlands quest scenario by one of Call of Cthulhu’s most passionate and accomplished writers.

Dare to revisit the Enchanted Forest . . .

Originally written in 1994 and published in the (text-based) online Chaosium Digest, this version entirely revamps and expands Penelope Love's original manuscript text, and sets it amid evocative period art. Provided in both a screen-friendly (texture rich) version and a high-contrast printer-friendly version.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
