Dagon (Fantasy and Horror Classics);With a Dedication by George Henry Weiss

"Dagon" is a 1917 short story by American author H.

P. Lovecraft. One of the first stories he wrote as an adult, it centres around the recollection of a tortured, morphine-addicted narrator who was captured by a German ship during World War I.

After escaping his captors, he drifted for many miles before winding up stranded in a hellish place littered with rotting carcasses and home to an ancient horror.

A chilling tale by a master story-teller, "Dagon" is not to be missed by lovers of supernatural fiction and collectors of Lovecraft's seminal work.

Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890-1937) was an American writer of supernatural horror fiction.

Though his works remained largely unknown and did not furnish him with a decent living, Lovecraft is today considered to be among the most significant writers of supernatural horror fiction of the twentieth century.

Other notable works by this author include: "The Call of Cthulhu", "The Rats in the Walls", and "The Shadow over Innsmouth".
