Another Terrible Old Man

"Another Terrible Old Man" is a short Cthulhu Mythos story by authors Mark McLaughlin and Michael Sheehan, Jr.
==Synopsis==
Chased by a group of bigots, Veronica finds herself saved by a strange old man in whose house she has sought refuge. In the aftermath, the man shares a mysterious drink with her, and explains that many years ago he survived a confrontation with the Great Old One Cthulhu whilst aboard the steam yacht Alert, and distilled the brew from the ectoplasm left behind from the encounter. The magical properties of the drink begin to take effect, and the two transform before indulging in their carnal desires.
==Characters==
*Ambrose, a man claiming to have survived the events related in "The Call of Cthulhu".
*Veronica/Victor, a trans woman experiencing trouble with intolerant locals.
==Publication History==
"Another Terrible Old Man" was published in the 2019 collection The House of the Ocelot & More Lovecraftian Nightmares.
==Trivia==
*Although Ambrose claims to have been present on the Alert during the events of "Call of Cthulhu", this directly conflicts with Lovecraft's story in which only two men survived the encounter, neither of whom shared his name.
