He witnessed what lies beneath the waves. Now, sanity is his final casualty.
During the height of World War I, an American merchant marine officer escapes capture by a German sea raider, only to find himself stranded adrift in the vast, uncharted Pacific Ocean. After days of aimless drifting, he wakes to a terrifying sight: his small boat rests on a newly risen expanse of black, fetid earth--;a landscape thrust up from the ocean floor by a violent volcanic event.
What follows is a nightmare journey across this bizarre, slimy terrain. The officer finds strange, crumbling cyclopean ruins and massive, moss-covered monoliths covered in hieroglyphs so ancient they predate human language. But the true horror awaits at a giant fissure, where he witnesses the emergence of an object of worship:
A monstrous, colossal entity of unimaginable size, vaguely amphibious, rises from the abyss to pay homage to the ancient carvings. This creature is a manifestation of Dagon, a terrifying fish-god from forgotten Semitic mythology.
H. P. Lovecraft's seminal short story is a cornerstone of the Cthulhu Mythos, born from the author's own intense fear of the ocean's depths. Dagon is a classic, frantic account of cosmic horror, paranoia, and the mind-shattering realization that humanity is not alone, and that the greatest gods are alien, wet, and sleeping beneath the sea.
