A COSMIC HORROR NOVELLA INSPIRED BY H.P. LOVECRAFT’S THE CALL OF CTHULHU
PARIS, 1926
HAYWOOD JOHNSON
Veteran of the Great War, late of the legendary Harlem Hell Fighters, a man
haunted by memories of the battlefields of France and the horrors of the
American South; a writer who is trying to make a new life for himself in the
City of Light.
ELEANOR THIRLBY
Wealthy heiress and socialite, lover of the strange, devotee of the outré and
fantastic, a lost soul struggling to find a meaning to human existence in a world
that tore itself apart just a few short years ago.
ROBERT ARDOIS-BONNOT
A struggling artist who, as a result of some nameless compulsion, has
produced a bizarre painting which he calls the Dream Landscape, a Surrealist
masterpiece that has become a cause célèbre throughout Paris.
What was the inspiration for the blasphemous, nightmare world depicted in
Ardois-Bonnot’s painting? How can it seem to change as one views it, its surface somehow transforming itself, gradually revealing the apparent outlines of a horrible
underwater city? And why does it produce such hideous dreams in all who
look upon it?
Ensnared by its mysteries, haunted by its nightmares, Haywood and
Eleanor encounter cosmic wonders and mind-blasting horrors beyond
imagining as they delve into the fathomless enigma of the Dream Landscape.
Genre: Science Fiction
