  H P Lovecraft: Dagon - A Slimy...

  H.P. Lovecraft

  It was written in July 1917 and is one of the first stories that Lovecraft wrote as an adult. It is considered by many to be one of Lovecraft's most forward-looking stories. As to the name of the story, Lovecraft seems to be referring to the ancient Sumerian god named Dagon who is the fertility god of grains and fish, because in the story, the main character makes inquiries "....regarding the ancient Philistine legend of Dagon, the Fish-God." 
  The story is the testament of a tortured, morphine-addicted man who relates an incident that occurred during his service as an officer during World War I. In the unnamed narrator's account, his cargo ship is captured by an Imperial German sea-raider in "one of the most open and least frequented parts of the broad Pacific".  He escapes on a lifeboat and drifts aimlessly, south of the equator, until he eventually finds himself stranded on "a slimy expanse of hellish black mire which extended about [him] in monotonous undulations as far as [he] could see.... The region was putrid with the carcasses of decaying fish and less describable things which [he] saw protruding from the nasty mud of the unending plain." He theorizes that this area was formerly a portion of the ocean floor thrown to the surface by volcanic activity, "exposing regions which for innumerable millions of years had lain hidden under unfathomable watery depths. He explores and finds horrible and grotesque creatures, including a god. A rip roaring good tale of horror and terror to listen to.  But maybe not alone.

  When the Devil takes the stand, justice must confront Hell itself. 
  In a Chicago courtroom unlike any other, defence attorney Mira Shah faces her most chilling case yet: Marcus Vell, a tech CEO turned murder suspect, claims a demon possessed him during the brutal ritual killing of his lover. 
  But as the trial begins, strange things happen. Lights explode. Jurors scream. Evidence rewrites itself. And cryptic messages point Mira toward a disgraced exorcist named Father Dante—her last hope in a legal system unravelling under supernatural pressure. 
  This isn't just a defence. It's a summoning. And the courtroom is the altar. 
  As demonic forces twist reality and ancient laws awaken, Mira must survive jury selection from the grave, opening statements from the damned, and cross-examinations of the dead because this trial isn't about guilt or innocence anymore. 
  It's about the verdict the Devil has already written.
