Between the Dead and the Deep Blue Sea is a bone-chilling trio of early Lovecraft tales, which evoke cosmic horrors, creeping madness, and ancient unknowable forces. Strange events unfurl on storm-lashed coastlines, in crumbling villages, and in dream-like realms beyond the comprehension of mere mortals.. Brought to life by the spine-tingling narration of Dr. Jon Overton, each story lures the reader into unsettling encounters with the weird and uncanny...

An Introduction by Dr Jon Overton, sets these early works of Lovecraft in their historical context and analyses Lovecraft's key themes and his influence on the world of sci-fi, fantasy and horror writing.

The stories themselves: In The Terrible Old Man, petty criminals foolishly tempt fate when they meddle with a sinister sea captain who consorts with eldritch powers. The Cats of Ulthar unspools like a sinister fable, where cosmic justice claws from the shadows in terrible vengeance against those who are mean and cruel. Finally, Dagon drags readers down into abyssal horror as a stranded sailor discovers the remains of an ancient undersea civilization, and encounters a vast nightmarish entity, which leaves his sanity in tatters..

Taken together, these three short stories exemplify Lovecraft’s signature themes: terror of the unknown, haunted relics, ancient stone carvings, and of course - vast and monstrous forces that burst through the thin veil of humanity's cherished "normality", and are utterly indifferent to their catastrophic impact on the feeble minds of those puny humans unlucky enough to behold them!

Fans of the Cthulhu Mythos, supernatural folklore, and uncanny events will find these tales irresistible..
