Lovecraft Narrator: Kenneth Elliot Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 14 minutes Release date: February 14, 2024 Genres: Horror Publisher's Summary: 'Dagon' is a short story by American author H.P. Lovecraft. It was written in July 1917 and is one of the first stories that Lovecraft wrote as an adult. It was first published in the November 1919 edition of The Vagrant. Dagon was later published in Weird Tales. It is considered by many to be one of Lovecraft's most forward-looking stories. The story is the testament of a tortured, morphine-addicted man who relates an incident that occurred during his service as an officer during World War I. In the unnamed narrator's account, his cargo ship is captured by an Imperial German sea-raider in 'one of the most open and least frequented parts of the broad Pacific'. He escapes on a lifeboat and drifts aimlessly, south of the equator, until he eventually finds himself stranded on 'a slimy expanse of hellish black mire which extended about [him] in monotonous undulations as far as [he] could see The region was putrid with the carcasses of decaying fish and less describable things which [he] saw protruding from the nasty mud of the unending plain.' He theorizes that this area was formerly a portion of the ocean floor thrown to the surface by volcanic activity, 'exposing regions which for innumerable millions of years had lain hidden under unfathomable watery depths.
