Fear of the Knight

"Fear of the Knight" is a short story by author Carl Fox, first published in the Rogue Planet Press anthology Swords Against Cthulhu II: Hyperborean Nights in 2017.
== Synopsis ==
A recluse offers hospitality to a knight of an ancient order who is on his way to a gathering of his peers. When, shortly after, the knight returns horribly aged and disfigured, he recounts the story of a disastrous encounter with the disciples of Cthulhu, and how he barely escaped with his life.
The story concludes with the knight passing and the hermit becoming aware that the cultists of Cthulhu are now watching him. Writing down the knight's tale, his existence passes from recorded history.
