Boston, 1926. After the mysterious death of his great-uncle, Francis Thurston discovers in the documents he inherited the existence of a sect dedicated to a nameless creature that has been dormant for millions of years. Bloody rituals practiced in the bayous of Louisiana, mysterious murders committed in various parts of the globe, artists driven mad by terrifying nightmares, the revival of ancestral cults and, above all, a cyclopean city rising from the depths of the ocean during a storm... Thurston gradually realizes that his relative's research into the cult of Cthulhu was too close to the truth, and that in the shadows, his followers are working to awaken their pagan god, ready to bring madness and destruction to the world.
The stars are right. Is the end near?
With this story, Lovecraft wrote one of the most famous stories in American fantasy literature of the 1920s. Cthulhu, the Great Ancient One, who dreams and waits at the bottom of the black ocean abyss, will become the sole symbol of the entire universe created by the writer from Providence.
Always fascinated by this work, populated by creatures that hide in dark corners and gigantic Ancients, one look at which is enough to plunge you into madness, François Barangé, an illustrator recognized worldwide for his talents as a concept artist for film and video games, took on the "cyclopean" task of embodying the images of Lovecraft's main plots.
