Edward has started Miskatonic University, hoping to deepen his understanding in the strange and the occult, but little bargaining for meeting a beguiling woman named Asenaith Waite, who can seemingly control the weather.

Daniel Upton and Edward Derby have been best friends almost their entire lives, right up to the point Daniel shoots Edward dead in the Arkham Sanitorium — a crime Daniel swears he didn’t commit, despite all the evidence.

Witness the beginning of this doomed relationship and Edward’s slow descent into a horrifying world beyond his control.

From award-winning writer Simon Birks (ANTARCTICA, Sinners, Gone, The Shadow Over Innsmouth) with artist Willi Roberts (ANTARCTICA, The Dark, Clodagh, The Blood Below, Remothered) comes a chilling tale based on HP Lovecraft’s terrifying story.
