H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos is a shared universe far larger and more terrifying than that of humanity, where ancient, malevolent beings known as the Great Old Ones slumber in the depths of space or time. After Lovecraft's death, the Mythos has been expanded and developed by many authors, including August Derleth, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard. These and many other authors have helped to flesh out the Mythos into a rich and complex Dark Universe.

Set in the vast world of H.P. Lovecraft, Dreams of a Dead God takes place in 1936 Louisiana following the events of the author’s seminal cosmic horror story The Call of Cthulhu.

Tracking a kidnapper and murderer from France to Louisiana, a young woman and her adopted brother team up with local police and set out into the swamps north of New Orleans. Here the group uncovers much more than they expected, barely succeeding in capturing the fugitive before being forced to flee.

The only surviving record of the event, Dreams of a Dead God is the recovered film recording of the rushed interrogation that occurred shortly after.
