Fascinated by the history and legends of New England, a young traveler ventures into the gloomy coastal town of Innsmouth. Isolated, decadent, and enveloped in a nauseating smell of rotten fish, the city hides a dark secret: an ancestral cult, the Esoteric Order of Dagon, founded by a mysterious captain who made a blasphemous pact with abyssal beings. A forced night in Innsmouth will turn into a nightmare with no return. After the success of The Call of Cthulhu and The Horror of Dunwich, François Baranger returns to give shape to one of H. P. Lovecraft's most chilling and disturbing tales, set in the heart of his homeland, where fear does not need stars or cosmic depths to show itself. Baranger manages, against all logic, to depict the indescribable. His monumental and tension-filled illustrations manage to convey cosmic horror, the unspeakable, the inhuman. Lovecraft is not told, he is evoked. And Baranger evokes him magnificently.
