Where Yidhra Walks

"Where Yidhra Walks" is a short story by American author Walter C. DeBill, Jr. Although originally written as part of his Mlandoth Cycle, it has since been incorporated into the greater Cthulhu Mythos through Chaosium's Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game.
==Synopsis==
Kovacs is travelling across Texas on the way to visit his cousin when he becomes stranded in the small town of Milando as a result of hurricane flooding. Over the next few days he becomes aware of the existence of a cult to the Earth Mother deity Yidhra and his curiosity leads him to look into this phenomena.
As he finds out more, he realises that most of the town has been inducted into this cult, and that membership grants certain gifts- along with a price. When he discovers that he is to be the next inductee, he uses a tragic and violent incident between one of the last remaining human residents and some of the degenerate townsfolk as a cover to make a getaway. 
Although Kovacs manages to escape Milando, by the time he has alerted the authorities the whole incident has been covered up, leaving the cult and its master to continue their activities unhindered…
