Summary

“When oblivion comes, it is forever, as endless as the slumber of those beings that lie buried beneath the roots of the world, dreaming in darkness.”

A writer’s research into the legend of the Lambton Worm takes a horrifying twist when he uncovers the true origin of the story: A legend that stirs, knowing the time for its rebirth is near.

A chilling tale of the Cthulhu mythos, written by award-winning author Jonathan Green.

Not a bad effort at Lovecraftian horror

Not a bad effort at Lovecraftian horror. All the elements were there. Narrated well.

Dark and compelling

Traditional Lovecraftian horror hidden behind the all-too-familiar veil of normality. Another of Green's slow-burning tales that allows tension to build steadily before suddenly changing gear and accelerating rapidly towards a dramatic and nail-biting conclusion.
