Stories
Each story is set in the early 20th century and is told from the point of view of a scholarly narrator. Each narrator in turn becomes the protagonist of the next story in the series.
The entire Xothic Legend cycle (including a prologue) was collected in The Xothic Legend Cycle from Chaosium. A full synopsis of all these stories (readable as one whole story) is available on this site: http://web.archive.org/web/20070819204407/http://geocities.com/vadyanclique/xothic.html (GeoCities is gone, so found on web archive)

Famous quotes containing the word stories:
“the tide lays down its wet throat
and alters the land to islandeven as I watch
I say there is no shore
apart from stories of it,
no smoke, no hut, no beacon ...”
—Lynn Emanuel (b. 1949)
“A curious thing about atrocity stories is that they mirror, instead of the events they purport to describe, the extent of the hatred of the people that tell them.
Still, you cant listen unmoved to tales of misery and murder.”
—John Dos Passos (18961970)
“Castaway, your time is a flat sea that doesnt stop,
with no new land to make for and no new stories to swap.”
—Anne Sexton (19281974)
