Nation of Disease: The Rise & Fall of a Canadian Legend

"Nation of Disease: The Rise & Fall of a Canadian Legend" is a short story by author Jonathan Sharp. It is loosely connected to the Cthulhu Mythos.
== Synopsis ==
Written as a media article, the story follows the career of a band as the two main members grow more and more obsessed with the occult, incorporating recordings which they believe comes from somewhere beyond our own world. As their mania grows, their behaviour becomes increasingly erratic, and culminates in one killing the other in the middle of a particularly deranged concert.
== Characters ==
* Darren "Krankenheit" Cross, the lead singer of Nation of Disease.
* Stuart "Stahl" Smith, keyboards and electronics for the band, and seemingly the driving force being their degeneration into occultism.
== Publication History ==
"Nation of Disease: The Rise & Fall of a Canadian Legend" was published in the Lovecraftian anthology Whispers from the Abyss in 2013.
== Trivia ==
* Lyrics which appear in one of Nation of Disease's tracks include the repetition of the phrase "Aklo Sabaoth". This is a reference to the ritual invoked by Wilbur Whateley in the H. P. Lovecraft story "The Dunwich Horror". The name of this song is "Dreams In The Witch House", a nod to another of Lovecraft’s stories.
