The Taint and Other Novellas
Dedicated horror fans immediately recognize the Cthulhu Mythos, the monstrous cosmology invented by H.P. Lovecraft and expanded into a compendious mythology by many other genre hands. The Mythos encompasses a culture of ancient, malevolent beings, many of them submerged in Earth's oceans, that lure susceptible humans into hellish servitude via dreams and telepathy.
