The Quest for Captain Sammy’s Treasure
Five centuries ago, Captain Sammy buried his treasure in an unlikely
location before letting the sun burn his body to ash to avoid becoming a
vampire. Now the spectral pirate is back in the Jungle of Kled to reclaim
his treasure, accompanied by two unusual friends.
Rilpu is a young sorceress born as a serpent but transformed into a
humanoid female by a spell. The wizard Zkauba hails from the doomed world of
Yaddith. They are soon joined by an impressive companion: Yadira, the
daughter of Nyarlathotep. However, it is possible that even Nyarlathotep’s
daughter may not be able to defeat the abomination standing in the blighted
clearing under the pedestal where Captain Sammy’s treasure is hidden.
Do the ghostly pirate captain and his friends have a chance of reclaiming
the treasure and continuing their mission to save the Cosmos from
destruction or are they destined to fail?
About the Author
C. L. Hart, the owner and sole employee of Naughty Netherworld Press, is spoken of in hushed tones. She is described as The Mad Scribe of the Northeastern Colorado Plains, The Terrible Old Woman, and The Author That Should Not Be.
When not penning sanity-destroying works of dystopian fiction, Lovecraftian fantasy, or old-school horror with the occasional sweet romance thrown in to upset the cosmic apple cart, Ms. Hart enjoys creating baked goods she hopes will be considered palatable.
Ms. Hart shares a home in a remote rural town of 134 souls with her adult son and three cats. Her sense of fashion is best described as Early Twenty-First Century Unmade Bed. This disabled former nurse can usually be found arguing with herself about subplots or rehabilitating eldritch horrors.
