Hi Sam reading this on the plane and enjoying it tremendously. I haven't made friends with the stewardess yet though. Hail Cthulu Hail Dagon Hail Yog-Sothoth

My sources tell me the Old Ones rarely take interest in our tiresome mortal affairs, but it never hurts to throw out a few 'Hail Cthulu's for safety!

I care not whether they heed me, I hail them because it is their due as the true powers of the cosmos.

All hail Cthulu, the great sleeping god.

This is great. An eye turning read. I especially like the emphasis on the grotesque shape of the architecture and the unique language of the protagonist.

I couldn’t put this down! The slow build from airplane turbulence to Cthulhu was so smooth and chilling. I really loved this.

I read it to myself in the voice Pete Martell from Twin Peaks, trying to get that part down. Thanks for reading Bill!
