The Ballad of Mary Paulson

These sonnets are fun pieces in the not so serious vein of the Cthulhu mythos portrayed in games like Arkham Horror and tales in Lovecraftiana and Dark Horse Magazine. The first twelve sonnets comprise the series The Ballad of Mary Paulson. Mary was an outsider in her hometown. However, once in college, she made friends and started developing herself as a Wiccan. When one of her friends is being used by a worshiper of Shub-Nigggurath to open a portal for the dark elder god, it is up to Mary to try to save the day. The remaining poems are isolated Lovecraftian sonnets.
