Genres: adult, occult

Feature(s): Coley Cochran

Character(s): Coley Cochran; Officer Jack; Chief Tanner; Jennifer Collins; unnamed chauffer; Kit Cameron; Garth (descendant of Shub Niggurath); Dirk

Synopsis: Coley & Jenny survive the crash, but Coley is almost beaten to death by Officer Jack. Tanner later releases him, saying Father O'Brien cleared him of any charges. Coley accepts the invitation of Garth, who reveals he blackmailed the priest into dropping the charges. Coley, Kit & Jenny spend time at Darkcliff, the same place Coley was almost killed a year earlier, which Garth has bought & restored. Following several days of relaxing, intrigue and sex (between Coley & Jenny, Coley & Kit, Kit & Jenny, and Coley & Dirk), Coley discovers what's really going on. Garth, a half-human descendant of Shub Niggurath, an "elder god", is determined to open a dimensional doorway for their return-- by sacrificing Coley! Jenny is killed, but once again Coley's hypnotic voodoo powers prevail. Tanner, who's learned the truth about what happened at O'Brien's church, tells Coley he wants him to leave town and never come back. Coley assures Kit, who now loves Coley deeply, that she hasn't seen the last of him.

Reprint Notes:

Miscellaneous

Pages: 32

Notes: Part 2 of 2. H.P. Lovecraft tribute, with several elements similar to those in "THE DUNWICH HORROR". Several events of this story also mirror those seen in the earlier Coley story, "BREATHLESS" (see COLEY #[3] / John Blackburn, 1991). While this is common with sequels (especially in the movies), this may also partly be because when it this was done, "BREATHLESS" was only available as a limited-edition book, read by very few fans. Next appearance in MEATMEN #15 (Leyland Publications, 1993), then WEB OF EVIL #1 (Eros, November 1993), reprinted in COLEY RUNNING WILD: Book Two: Caged Heat (Eros, August 1997).
