Bloodstone
Dark Crusade
Darkness Weaves

by Karl Edward Wagner

My favourite book would be Darkness Weaves, but it's Bloodstone that really makes Kane fit. Kane is trying to take over the world using a strange artifact (AI) of elder civilisation (the Bloodstone). It is located within ruins inhabited by degenerated members of the civilisation. They look remarkably frog-like and posess great strenght. Kane ends up subduing them and using them as an army.

So, basically, Kane would show up in late Atlantis pursuing his own goals and schemes.

Maybe it's just me, but I really enjoyed the novels. In any case, read them. The athmosphere is so thick and dark it's comparable only with Hexen (game).

For other lovecraftian references, read Darkness Weaves.

If you don't put him in, you'll break my heart.
