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"

There are valid issues with Lovecraft's personal views which I will not reiterate because they are well documented. Speaking purely about the short story (and it is short), I have to say the imagery is classically horrific. The atmosphere of the tale is the main point, in my opinion. The short action of the story is interesting too, as is the ending (won't spoil the specifics, but classic mystery).

Creepy, slimy and compelling for something that‘s a mere 7 pages.

Just finished The fourth story Dagon in the complete works of H.P. Lovecraft. It was an interesting story with the recurrent theme of the protagonist going insane. Wondering if what they just experienced was real or just a figment of their imagination. 🤔

Rachel.Rencher Seems to be a theme in all of Lovecraft's work 😂 6y
Lucas.Rencher It really is I feel like Lovecraft was sad and confused. I wish he was still around I feel like he needs a hug. 😊 6y
JazzFeathers I haven't read Dagon, but l know that's one of Lovecraft most popular. It also stirred quite a querelle when it was first published, if l remember correctly 6y

A man turns to morphine to deal with something he saw. He decides to kill himself, but first explains the experience responsible for making him insane. The world beneath arose, and worshipped stones call to sea-creatures roaming land.
