The Stalker in the Snows

"The Stalker in the Snows" is a short Cthulhu Mythos story by American author James Ambuehl, part of his Lu-Kthu story cycle. It was first published in the Eastertide 1997 edition of Robert M. Price's long-running Lovecraftian zine Cthulhu Codex.
==Synopsis==
A small expedition goes into the mountains of Minnesota to try and catalog wolves. In a series of bizarre events the expedition suspects they have encountered a werewolf, as a member of the party begins to spontaneously spout Mythos lore, almost literally chapter and verse, before finally discovering a cenobium of monks from a secret monastery, more fitting for Tibet than rural America. The monks take the expedition prisoner.
After being unwillingly exposed to Mythos lore, the survivor of the expedition becomes a raving cannibal - or so it seems.
==Publication History==
Since its first appearance in Cthulhu Codex, "The Stalker in the Snows" has also been included in Correlated Contents, a collection of James Ambuehl's Cthulhu Mythos works, by Mythos Books in December 2000.
