Dagon (6 pages) 2/19

The first story was entitled "Dagon", a retelling of a convoy's exhibition through the eyes of a now suicidal morphine addict who's name isn't given within the story. When the convoy finds hieroglyphs no one seems familiar with, they venture onward only to awake the beast of the deep. The Narrator recalls long tentacles and a large scaly body before he blacks out. The nurse in a San Francisco hospital tells him "You've been attacked by the fish god Dagon".

Most Memorable Line: "Through my terror ran curious reminiscences of Paradise Lose, and of Satan's hideous climb through the unfashioned realms of darkness" (pg.3)

The style shown is an off mix of 1000 Leagues Under the Sea, mixed with Dante's Inferno and mixed with The Pit and the Pendulum

( exterior note: The God's seem to be tangible and leaving creatures, each story might unfold a new god for some purpose. )
