Cultist Chronicles

This book contains a compilation of stories introducing important players and concepts in my larger Stansonverse narrative, leading into my One Stan's Journey Story. Each tale follows its own set of characters in their home world, facing different struggles and giving crucial context for who they are and what they hope to achieve. Prime Origins, the first tale in this collection, sets up Stan Prime and his descent into darkness after making a Faustian deal with an evil entity upon discovering the key to multiversal travel. The falling story, Treachery and Trouble, sees a different version of Stan Stanson trying to save what's left of his doomed world from the clutches of a Necromancer in this globe-trotting post-apocalypse adventure. The third tale, Infectious Desire, sees a gender-swapped version of Stan and his family as they struggle to survive in the zombie apocalypse; this female counterpart finds herself falling head over heels fast for a new visitor. The fourth story in this compilation, Blood Lotus Rising, follows the daughter of an aging gang leader as she is trained to take the helm of the clan. Next is a collection of short stories; the first sees an Avian startled out of bed as Reptillians attack his village, the second considers a mafioso pig lamenting the loss of his fallen comrade, and finally, we have a tale detailing the Crimson Goddess's plot to foil a greater evil that is on the rise.
