Siren Call

by Joseph Nassise

"You have to give him credit; Lovecraft got most of the facts correct. Cthulhu did lay dreaming in the vast alien city of R'lyeh, waiting for his opportunity to return to the sunlit world above.

But there was one key piece of information that he got wrong. You see, R'lyeh wasn't on earth at all.

Unfortunately for us, we learned the truth the hard way."

Originally sold to the Cthulhu Singularity anthology, this short story by international bestseller Joseph Nassise combines the Cthulhu mythos with a tale of science fiction adventure and exploration millions of miles from home.

I'm the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of more than fifty novels, including the Templar Chronicles series, the Jeremiah Hunt trilogy, and the Great Undead War series. I've also written several books in the Rogue Angel action/adventure series from Gold Eagle. I'm a former president of the Horror Writers Association, the world's largest organization of professional horror writers, and a multiple Bram Stoker Award and International Horror Guild Award nominee.

When I'm not writing, I'm hanging out with dogs, practicing recurve archery, or off-roading in the desert around my home in Phoenix, AZ.

Reviews

[Robin · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a good story, predictable generally but also personal. The writing is adequate, but I had to take off a point for careless editing.
