Engines of Desire: Tales of Love and Other Horrors by Livia Llewellyn

Image of the road to Cthulhu's pyramid with pilgrims the caption reads Our Work Renews the World
Take Your Daughter to Work ★★★★★ 
Sex as something pleasurable, soft and warm, is a mammalian concept. In the cold salty dark of fathoms, it’s not even survivable. This short story built in scales and slithers to a chilling reimagining of Lovecraftian horror.

Painting of a blonde space officer looking serious as a space battle rages behind him in the window
“The fact that it was he who in the end had underestimated the Starflyer gave his situation its wretched poignancy.”

The Litany of Earth (The Innsmouth Legacy #0.5) by Ruthanna Emrys ★★★★★

A man stands facing the Elder Gods in a lightning storm the caption says What our religion tells us is that the gods created life to try and make meaning It's ultimately hopeless and even gods die but the effort is real Will always have been real even when everything is over and no one remembers
This is the best mythos story I have ever read. Ms. Emrys, you have made me a believer! I must now read everything the gods have bid you write.

Read it for yourself:
