Coming September 2024
Not to be confused with other literary and other takes about cosmic horror on a feline scale, like The Cats of Ulthar, or with a role playing game suppliement like Sixtystone Press’ Cathulhu, there’s a new danger in town! The Japanese loves their cats too, and the eldritch horrors of Lovecraftian lore gets a novel, humourous twist in Cthulhu Cat!
From the Press Release:
This one-shot, full-colour gag manga from Pandania (The Evil Secret Society of Cats, Yokai Cats) is a charming tribute both to Lovecraft’s stories and love of cats. This new English edition is translated by Zack Davisson (Kaibyo: The Supernatural Cats of Japan, H.P. Lovecraft’s At the Mountains of Madness) and lettered by Steve Dutro (Plants vs. Zombies, H.P. Lovecraft’s At the Mountains of Madness).
An ordinary Japanese high school student takes home an abandoned supernatural cat left in a cardboard box. Maybe he shouldn’t have meddled with kitties beyond human comprehension—after all, it had tentacles where its whiskers should have been! But it’s too late now. With no Elder Sign on the cat door, soon the pick of the Mythos litter starts to invade his house, as furry and feline versions of Hastur, Yog-Sothoth, Nyarlathotep, and other adorable Lovecraftian horrors blast his mind, whisper impossible secrets, and generally get underfoot!
Ph’nglui mglw’nfah Cthulhu Cat R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagnya!
(“In his house in R’lyeh dead Cthulhu Cat waits dreaming, meow!”)
