After fleeing under a cloud of salacious scandal, Shelby Tyree has returned to the sleepy tourist community of Sarasota, Florida with a mysterious woman at his side and a strange new devotion to horror writer H.P. Lovecraft in his head. His childhood friends Rick and Conrad scarcely recognise Shelby, who has been transformed from a rakish dilettante into a zealous guru devoted to his own pseudo-religion.

Rick and Conrad take it upon themselves to discover the truth about Shelby and his sinister activities. Why has he founded his own church, devoted to a presumably fictional demonic alien? Is it possible Shelby's lost his grip on reality or is he somehow under the spell of this mysterious woman? Or, even worse, is it possible that Shelby has uncovered some secret truths that man was not meant to know?

"The Cthulhu Cult is a brilliant and scintillating novel of Lovecraftian terror. It grips the reader from the first page and develops a tremendous cumulative power. Anyone who has the least interest in H. P. Lovecraft's work will find The Cthulhu Cult a must-read."

- S.T. Joshi, author of H.P. Lovecraft, A Life and The Rise and Fall of the Cthulhu Mythos
