In this new feature on Lightless Beacons, we’ll be opening the book on Lovecraft’s classic tales of terror. In lively and incisive panel discussions we’ll talk about the stories themselves, their relationship to the Call of Cthulhu RPG and their influence on other horror media and weird fiction. Tonight we focus on Dagon, the story of a sailor haunted by his discovery of a nightmarish island bearing remnants of an inhuman civilisation.
