Just read: ‘Denker’s Book’ by David J. Schow, 2010. Inspired by Lovecraft, and The Necronomicon in particular, it’s about the power of the word. Or of certain words brought together, like reactive substances. It's resolutely tell, not show, which I don't mind at all.

Just read ‘The Seven Geases’ by Clark Ashton Smith, 1934. Full on fantasy, all jerkins and halberds, in which an arrogant hunter is compelled to descend into a mountain offering himself as a sacrifice to one god after another.
