Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring the intersection of myth and reality, this collection of essays delves into the cult of an octopus-headed deity in the Pacific, mirroring the fictional Cthulhu created by H. P. Lovecraft. It reveals how a real religion in Samoa, featuring a war god associated with an octopus and a stone palace, shares striking similarities with Lovecraft's narrative. The essays examine the cult's rituals, beliefs, and the concept of resurrection, highlighting the profound connections between Lovecraft's imagination and actual Pacific traditions.
