I've recently come across a couple of works which might be of interest to you. First off is The Cthulhu Wars, a pseudo-history by Kenneth Hite. This recounts various American military operations against Cthulhu and his ilk. On the Weird West side is To the Abandoned Sacred Beasts (in case the grammatically awkward title didn't give it away, it's a manga). This setting involves a piece of alternate history in which fell magicks were used to form soldiers into monstrous beings during the Civil War. With the war over, they find themselves largely unable to reintegrate into society. I've only just ordered them from Amazon, so haven't gotten to read them yet. However, I find Kenneth Hite to be a consistently good writer and the reviews for ASB make it sound promising.

Ooh, thanks for the heads up! I agree with you about Hite. Both of these sound intriguing!

Just got both. The Cthulhu Wars is a fun little mishmash of fact and fiction, much like his previous work The Nazi Occult. Unfortunately, it's not as tightly written, with some of the accounts in the earlier chapters feeling a bit random. But it does have this little gem ( ... )
