First published in Weird Tales in November 1923, The Horror at Martin’s Beach was co-written with Sonia H. Greene, Lovecraft’s wife at the time. Together, they crafted a story that blends maritime mystery with cosmic despair — a haunting echo of the deep that foreshadows The Call of Cthulhu itself.
It begins with the capture of a monstrous sea creature… and ends with an entire town drawn helplessly toward the waves.
Was it curiosity? Or the pull of something older — something waiting just beyond the tide? The Horror at Martin’s Beach is a reminder that the ocean keeps its own gods… and sometimes, it calls them home.
Thank you for listening in the dark with me đź–¤
