I was going to post the "Hello Kitty" Cthulhu image -- well, one of 'em -- but I found this and liked it better.
You know, I think I might have actually worked for this guy once.

John, you forgot one of the old masters of this type of creep-show, Robert W. Chambers.

I had a copy of the book once, read the whole thing, and said, "meh." The content never came close to being as creepy as the paperback's cover illustration, seen below. I could never figure out what that highway-flare thingie was, but I thought it was pretty cool.
Don't pay for this book; it's free in the public domain.

Iia! It is the tentacle-headed boss of Dilbert-Niggurath! He comes! He comes! And he bears ... pointless work.

If you start to get writers from other webzines to meet too, pretty soon you're going to have come up with an official name. Sergiocon? ente per ente fest?

We can call this one "Columbus Day"!
