There are secrets beneath the waves ... older than mankind, and hungry still. In this salt-soaked collection, H. P. Lovecraft conjures horrors from the deep: ancient beings that slumber beneath black seas, forgotten isles lost to time, and coastal towns whose bloodlines trace back to something not entirely human.
