Dagon

Before the Cthulhu mythos fully emerged, there was Dagon.

In this iconic early tale, H. P. Lovecraft introduces readers to a terrifying world of ancient gods and cosmic horror lurking beneath the sea. When a shipwrecked sailor finds himself stranded on a strange, rising landmass, he encounters something that defies human understanding—and sanity.

Often considered one of the first stories in the Cthulhu Mythos, Dagon delivers a powerful blend of sea horror, dark fantasy, and existential dread in a compact, unforgettable narrative.
