The great Cthulhu is about to rise. Mr. Arkham’s plans are unfolding causing the insanity of the Dreamlands to ooze into the real world. No one can stop this war of the gods, not even the Harlot. However, the Harlot will try to salvage her favorite playthings, humans. To the Harlot, the human hind holds so many sweat secrets, secrets that rightfully belong to her.The Harlot has released Cy, one of her favorite play toys. With Lucifer’s help, the Harlot will send Cy on a critical mission to newly risen city of Ryleth. What will Cy do once he has arrived at Ryleth, only Cy and the Harlot know.
Fall of Cthulhu: GodWar is another deeply demented installment of Fall of Cthulhu from the sickly twisted mind of Michael Alan Nelson.
I was impressed with the elevated level of psychological trauma that Cy exhibited. The attention to detail paid to his broken mind was superb and the best pages in the book harkening back to the brilliance of the first two volumes that seemed somewhat absent in the third.
Anyway, Cy was released by the Harlot. She had stuck him in one of her boxes of knowledge. Whatever Cy saw while in her box, it must have been both terrifying and orgasmic because Cy wants nothing to do with the outside world. Cy will do anything to get back into the box. There is a great scene where Cy makes a box out of couch cushions, only his eye can be seen through the cracks.
The is a lot to like in this volume, but buy and read it for the scene with Cy and his box made out of cushions.
