H. P. Lovecraft spoke highly of this novel in "Supernatural Horror in Literature," and for good reason. The Place Called Dagon (1927) uncannily reflects many of the themes in Lovecraft's own fiction, and probably influenced his tales "The Shadow over Innsmouth" and "The Dreams in the Witch House." This novel, whose very title is Lovecraftian, has waited too long to find a new generation of readers. As the latest in the the Lovecraft's Library series, it is now reprinted uncut and unabridged, with original artwork by Allen Koszowski, and contributions by noted Lovecraft scholar S. T. Joshi and Gorman expert Larry Creasy.
