dalu 's review for:

Dagon by H.P. Lovecraft
3.0

2.9 ☆

An unnamed man is stranded in a desert, mysterious island where he finds... something.

I like the solitary and eerie ambient of this one, also I think it's one of the first Lovecraft books I picked up and made me want to read everything from the author, so that's a plus.
Doesn't have much to do with the Ugaritic/Canaanite/Phoenician god, though.
Not much more to add, the story is really short and you can read it for free (as all of his other stories) on the hplovecraft.com site!

ALSO, there's a really great game with the same name that is basically an immersive, cinematic version of this story. It's free on Steam, so you can check it out.
