Crom Cruach's mythology is niche, so sequels aren't really a thing, but I love how indie creators keep referencing him. For instance, the tabletop RPG 'Shadow of the Demon Lord' has nods to his lore. It's not a continuation, but it scratches that eerie, ancient-god itch. Sometimes the best 'sequels' are the ones we imagine ourselves while exploring these hidden corners of myth.
Crom Cruach? Oh, that takes me back to my college days when I obsessively studied obscure myths. Honestly, there aren't any official sequels because it's more of a historical/mythological reference than a franchise. But! If you're into dark fantasy, you might enjoy 'The Táin' or other Ulster Cycle tales—they vibe similarly. Some authors, like Kenneth C. Flint, have reimagined these myths in novels, though they aren't direct follow-ups. It's more about the vibe than the continuity.
You know, I stumbled upon Crom Cruach while researching for a D&D campaign, and it's fascinating how little mainstream material exists. No sequels, but if you're open to tangential recommendations, the 'Sláine' comic series by 2000 AD throws in Celtic gods and brutal battles galore. Also, the video game 'Smite' features him as a playable character—which is kinda cool! It's not a sequel, but it keeps the spirit alive. Maybe one day we'll get a proper dark fantasy series centered on him. A fan can dream, right?
Crom Cruach really caught my attention. From what I've gathered, it's a lesser-known figure in Irish mythology, often depicted as a dark deity associated with sacrifice. But as for sequels or expanded stories, it's tricky. There aren't direct sequels in the traditional sense, but some modern adaptations like 'The Wicker Man' or 'Hellboy' comics borrow elements loosely.
If you're craving more, I'd recommend diving into Celtic myth collections or checking out indie games that explore similar themes—they often sprinkle in references to figures like Crom Cruach without outright naming them. It's like a treasure hunt for lore enthusiasts!

I've spent a lot of time exploring the stories surrounding Cu Chulainn. The original legends, like those found in 'The Táin Bó Cúailnge,' are standalone epics, but modern adaptations often expand into series. For instance, Morgan Llywelyn's 'Irish Century' novels touch on Cu Chulainn's legacy, though not direct sequels.
If you're looking for a direct series, 'The Hound of Ulster' by Rosemary Sutcliff is a classic retelling but remains a single book. Some fantasy authors, like Pat O'Shea in 'The Hounds of the Morrigan,' weave Cu Chulainn's themes into broader narratives. There's no definitive sequel, but the mythos inspires countless spin-offs in games, comics, and novels, like 'Fate/stay night,' where he appears as Lancer. The lack of a formal series leaves room for creative reinterpretations across media.
