The Colossus In The Catacombs

"The Colossus In The Catacombs" is a short story by authors Mark McLaughlin and Michael Sheehan, Jr. It functions as something of a follow-up to "The Abominations Of Nephren-Ka" insofar as it charts the next stage of the history of the Shining Trapezohedron.
==Synopsis==
A deformed but magically-gifted child in the house of Tutankhamen is raised in the catacombs beneath the palace where he forms his own cult to Nyarlathotep. Eventually, he stumbles across a group of undead worshippers of Azathoth and their monstrous guardian, which kills him when he displeases it.
==Characters==
*Mupp, a severely deformed man whose appearance and powers are the result of interference by Nyarlathotep at the point of conception.
*Setek, the huge and deadly guardian of the cult of Azathoth, who was the inspiration for the Egyptian Sphinx.
==Publication History==
"The Colossus In The Catacombs" was published in the collection Horrors & Abominations: 24 Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos in December 2022.
