In a new house at San Pedro, artist Graham Dean is plagued by dreams that feel not haphazard but planned, dreams that draw him toward a green, eyeless horror rising from the sea.

Robert Bloch and Henry Kuttner's 1937 Weird Tales story is a chilling Lovecraftian horror tale. Atmospheric, dread-soaked, superbly told. Read it for a fine collaboration between two masters of the macabre, a Cthulhu-Mythos nightmare of oceanic horror and psychic possession, steeped in the eerie sea-dread of the classic weird-fiction era.
